Principled Podcast: S11E6 | Ethics & Compliance Evolution in Singapore: Adapting to Global Risks

More than ever, the intensifying severity and frequency of new risks worldwide have heightened the focus of Ethics and Compliance (E&C) programs on risk mitigation efforts. LRN’s 2024 Ethics & Compliance Program Effectiveness Report presents comprehensive global data and insights from over 1,400 E&C professionals to underscore this trend. Our research emphasizes the effectiveness of values-based programs, which correlate strongly with reduced risk and improved business outcomes. Given this increasingly complex risk landscape, how are E&C programs in the Asia Pacific region, particularly in Singapore, adapting? Furthermore, what do these global best practices entail for programs in this region in their day-to-day operations?

In this episode of the Principled Podcast, Eric Morehead, LRN’s Director of Advisory Services Solutions, discusses the key insights from the Singapore edition of the 2024 Ethics & Compliance Program Effectiveness Report with Jarrod Baker, Partner at Deloitte Southeast Asia, exploring their implications for regional programs.

Season 10 Episode 3 – Transparency and Disclosure: Unpacking the “E” of ESG Reporting

What you’ll learn on this podcast episode

Environmental, social, and governance, or ESG, has been in the news a lot lately—particularly the “E” when it comes to new and evolving regulations. There’s been a greater push in the United States for transparency and disclosure of data regarding businesses’ environmental impact, driven largely by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the National Advertising Division of the Better Business Bureau. In fact, California is expected to soon be the first US state to require company reporting related to environmental impact. So, what does this all mean for companies that are working to become more sustainable? How do you even begin to report on emissions and environmental impact? In this episode of LRN’s Principled Podcast host Eric Morehead explores how transparency plays a crucial role in corporate sustainability with Andrea Peters, the senior counsel of Interface.

S9 E7 – What are FAR Requirements? Reviewing Federal Acquisition Regulation Compliance

What you’ll learn on this podcast episode

The Federal Acquisition Regulation, or FAR, is the primary guidance followed by federal agencies—including NASA, the Department of Defense, the General Services Administration, and all others when acquiring goods and services. It’s also a regulation with its own set of compliance requirements for government contractors. How does FAR differ from other regulatory guidance, and what do government contractors need to know to ensure they have an effective program in place? On the Principled Podcast, host Jen Üner talks with LRN colleague Eric Morehead about why the FAR compliance program requirements matter to broader E&C program effectiveness, and how government contractors can implement those requirements in practical ways.
