Compliance into the Weeds: DOGE and Compliance

The award-winning, Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast that takes a deep dive into a compliance-related topic, literally going into the weeds to explore a subject more fully. Are you looking for some hard-hitting insights on compliance? Look no further than Compliance into the Weeds! In this episode, Tom Fox and Matt Kelly dive into the Trump Administration’s DOGE initiatives and what it might mean for compliance.

Tom and Matt discuss the implications of Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy’s Department of Government Efficiency Committee (DOGE), which aims to downsize the federal government drastically. They explore the potential consequences of cutting half of all regulations and federal employees, particularly on compliance officers and corporate risk management. The conversation highlights how the reduction or abolition of federal regulations would affect various sectors, including the military, social security, and essential services, and delves into the challenges this proposal poses for compliance programs within businesses. They also consider possible outcomes such as increased state-level regulations, civil litigation, and the chaos and uncertainty that might follow. Finally, they discuss how companies should prepare for an inconsistent and unpredictable regulatory environment under a Trump administration.

Key highlights:

  • DOGE and Government Restructuring
  • Implications for Compliance Officers
  • Challenges of Cutting Regulations and Staff
  • Potential Consequences of Reduced Regulations and Non-Enforcement
  • Compliance Embedded in Business Practices
  • State-Level Regulation and Emerging Risks
