Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast which takes a deep dive into a compliance related topic, literally going into the weeds to more fully explore a subject. This week Matt and Tom take a deep dive the recent SEC enforcement action involving Kraft Foods. While the subject matter of the enforcement action was fraudulent expense recognition, it turns out the real culprit was a corrupt culture. Some of the issues we consider are:
· What were the underlying facts?
· What does tone at the top really mean?
· How does management cost cutting mantra lead to corruption?
· Why is incentive based comp so deterius?
· What did SEC Commissioner Crenshaw say about this enforcement action?
