Episode 105 – the Monaco Memo and Antitrust in the EU

Welcome to the only roundtable podcast in compliance as we celebrate our second century of shows. In 2021, Everything Compliance was honored by W3 as a top talk show in podcasting. In this episode, we have the quartet of Jonathan Marks, Jonathan Armstrong, Karen Woody, and Tom Fox on the Monaco Memo and antitrust enforcement going forward in Europe. We conclude with our fan Shout Outs and Rants section.

  1. Tom Fox looks at the Monaco Memo through the monitorship language and answers a listener’s questions about compliance programs under the Monaco Memo. He shouts out to Aaron Judge, who has a year for the ages.
  2. Karen Woody reviews the Monaco Memo, the self-disclosure angle, and investigatory considerations and ponders the role of defense counsel going forward. She shouts out to the HBO film Elvis and the movie portrayal of Presley.
  3. Jonathan Marks also looks at the Monaco Memo’s investigatory issues, the Board of Directors’ role, and the forensic auditor’s role under the Monaco Memo. He rants about compliance professionals and fraud examiners who have no idea what internal control is.
  4. Jonathan Armstrong looks at the EU communications around Facebook and antitrust enforcement and how things may change dramatically. He shouts out to King Charles III, who had a 70-year apprenticeship as the Heir Apparent to the British throne.
