May & June in Compliance Week

Welcome to From the Editor’s Desk, a podcast where co-hosts Tom Fox and Kyle Brasseur, EIC at Compliance Week, unpack some of the top stories which have appeared in Compliance Week over the past month, look at top compliance stories upcoming for the next month, talk some sports and generally try to solve the world’s problems.

In this month’s episode, we look back at top stories in CW from May around ESG at FedEx and key enforcement actions. May was also a record month for traffic on the Compliance Week website. Kyle and Tom talk about the recently held Compliance Week 2022 Conference, which took place in DC. We talked about some of the highlights from presentations, from new vendors in the compliance space, and how great it was to be together in person again. Kyle previewed some topics that Compliance Week will report in June, including Return to Work issues from the compliance perspective, coverage of CW 2022, Russia sanctions, and new ideas from the compliance officer think tank held at CS 2022.

We conclude with a look at some of the top sports stories, including the NBA playoffs and the Celtics making it to the 2022 NBA finals. Tom talks about the Nick Saban/Jimbo Fisher feud over college football recruiting, and Kyle reminds us of the Celtics taking the long view on developing talent.

GWICies and Compliance Week


Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley.
It’s the 150th episode of the Great Women in Compliance podcast.  This is a special episode because Mary and Lisa decided to do a joint episode in the middle of a season.  And in honor of the 150th episode, they have brought back the GWICies.  This year, they call out some things that resonated with them – the best new podcast, the best innovation this year, the best swag at a conference, the program that can be a phoenix and rise up, while still providing lessons to learn, and the best “outside compliance,” success story, among others.
The other part of the episode is a recap of the recent Compliance Week conference.  Lisa and Mary give their feedback about some highlights and some lessons learned in the panels.  They both felt very fortunate to be a part of this live conference, and the opportunity to connect in person.
Lastly, Lisa and Mary want to thank the Compliance Podcast Network and Corporate Compliance Insights for their ongoing support and sponsorship – they couldn’t do it without them.  They are also grateful for the entire #GWIC community – who have made this such a wonderful experience for them.
