Everything Compliance – Episode 115 – The Insider Trading (Or Not) Edition

Welcome to the only roundtable podcast in compliance as we celebrate our second century of shows. Everything Compliance has been honored by W3 as the top podcast talk show. In this episode, we have the quartet of Karen Woody, Jonathan Marks, Matt Kelly, and from across the pond, Jonathan Armstrong. We consider a veritable potpourri of issues, including the sentence given to Joe Sullivan, insider trading, the COSO Fraud Risk Management Framework, and a new report on whistleblower best practices. We conclude with our fan-fav Shout Outs and Rants section.

1. Matt Kelly looks at the joint IIA/ACFE report on Building a Best-in-Class Whistleblower Hotline. He shouts out to Newton Minow, the first government official to say television was a ‘vast wasteland.’

2. Jonathan Marks discusses his work on the COSO Framework for Fraud Risk Management. He shouts out to BlueBell Ice Cream for creating the new flavor, Dr. Pepper Float.

3. Tom Fox shouts out to Mike Shannon, who played with the St. Louis Cardinals for over 10 years, went to 3 World Series, and then had a 60-year career as an announcer with the team. He is also the only MLB player whom Tom got an autograph from.

4. Karen Woody looks at recent insider trading cases involving the crypto world and asks if crypto is not a security, who can it be insider trading. Karen shouts out to the Netflix show ‘Jury Duty.’

5. Jonathan Armstrong considers the sentence handed down to former Uber executive Joe Sullivan, wonders about the Judge’s admonition of no more leniency, and asks what it means for GDPR enforcement. He shouts out to all those workers who got London ready for the coronation.

Notable Quotes:

“But when you think about it, we have a lot of external factors, such as the rise of cryptocurrency, which is riddled with fraud and corruption risk. New methods of cyber-based fraud, which didn’t exist, say, 2016, the 2010s before that. Rise of ransomware in particular, which wasn’t quite a big thing back then that it is all over the place now.”

“Most frauds, you the risk management function, you might never catch them. By looking for them, you’ll have to depend on somebody else coming to you from the enterprise, say, I think this person over here is doing something sketchy.”

“Fraud is having a moment. And fraud risk is on the forefront of many people’s minds from many different areas.”

“We need to do better at finding ways to assess and understand your fraud risk and then implementing new controls as necessary to push that risk down to acceptable levels.”
