Compliance into the Weeds: 3M FCPA Enforcement Action

The award winning, Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast which takes a deep dive into a compliance related topic, literally going into the weeds to more fully explore a subject. Looking for some hard-hitting insights on sanctions compliance? Look no further than Compliance into the Weeds! In this episode, Tom and Matt consider the recent FCPA enforcement action involving the Chinese business unit of 3M.

The importance of post-event documentation and monitoring in preventing fraud and corruption cannot be overstated, as highlighted by the recent FCPA incident involving 3M China. Tom believes that while training and control environment adjustments are crucial, they may not be enough to prevent misconduct if individuals are determined to commit such acts. He emphasizes the need for hard evidence, such as post-event documentation, and recommends looking to the heavily regulated pharmaceutical sector for guidance.

Matt stresses the importance of rigorous post-event documentation to ensure the legitimacy of business activities. Both Fox and Kelly gained these insights from their extensive experience in the field of compliance and their analysis of various fraud cases. To learn more about their unique perspectives on post-event documentation and monitoring, join them on this episode of the Compliance into the Weeds podcast.
