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. Today we have a special live and in person podcast recording from Converge19. In this episode, Matt Kelly and I go into the weeds to explore the recent SEC enforcement action against Quad/Graphics and its Peruvian subsidiary. Matt comes in smoking on the egregious conduct of the company and the lack of criminal sanctions against the company.
Some of the highlights include:
- How did the company garner credit for prompt disclosure when it knew about the conduct for 3 years?
- Why have there been no criminal indictments against individuals?
- How many sham vendors, invoices and payments does a company need to take notice?
- Where was compliance?
- Why is it the sham-ness of it all?
