FCPA Compliance Report – Ethical Decision-Making in Times of Change

Welcome to the award-winning FCPA Compliance Report, the longest-running podcast in compliance. This is a very special episode. Tom Fox is joined by Lisa Fine, Ellen Hunt, and Hemma Lomax from the Great Women in Compliance podcast for our annual GWIC/FCPA Compliance Report cross-post podcast. We recorded this at Compliance Week 2025.

In this year of uncertainty and change in compliance, we discussed the need to revisit and emphasize foundational ethics amid the evolving compliance landscape, seeing uncertainty as a chance for professional growth and deeper ethical reflection. We also discussed integrating ethics into compliance functions and advocating for a community-oriented approach that respects diverse viewpoints and fosters global perspectives; highlighted the importance of innovative strategies and understanding human behavior, advocating for creative approaches like podcasts to foster a speak-up culture and stressing the use of technology and coaching to enhance ethical decision-making, ultimately contributing to a robust corporate culture capable of navigating international compliance challenges.

 

Key highlights:

  • Ethical Decision-Making in Times of Change and in a Global Business Arena
  • Global Training Program for Anti-Corruption Enforcement
  • Promoting Ethical Culture and Fair Treatment
  • Harnessing Collective Energy for Compliance Excellence

Ellen Hunt on Compliance ROI and on a Due Diligence and the US Sentencing Guidelines

In this episode of the Diligent Compliance Week 2025 Speaker Preview Podcasts series, Ellen Hunt discusses her two presentations at Compliance Week 2025, “Culture Effectiveness and ROI: How to Move the Needleand “Assessing Effectiveness: Do the 30-Year-Old Federal Sentencing Guidelines Still Work? “

In her first panel presentation, they will discuss the following:

  • Demonstrate measurable and quantifiable ROI
  • Build psychological safety that drives ethical decision-making and engagement.
  • Navigate matrix environments to expand the influence.
  • Use data to tell compelling compliance success stories.
  • Partner with the C-suite to help them navigate disruptive changes, including deregulation and major economic geopolitical shifts.

In her second presentation, she and Carrie Penman, the Chief Risk and Compliance Officer at Navex, will debate whether the US Sentencing Guidelines should be updated.
