In this episode of the FCPA Compliance Report, I am joined by Mikhail Reider-Gordon, Managing Director at Affiliated Monitors, Inc. We discuss conflicts of interest with some very high-profile examples torn literally from the headlines. Highlights include:
· What exactly is a Conflict of Interest and how does it differ from self-dealing, nepotism?
· Is a COI purely an ethical problem or are there are situations where COIs are illegal?
· COIs in the news of late and in some surprising places?
· Have there been other examples across industries?
· The Courts, the Fed, SCOTUS?
· Do you ever come across COIs in your work?
