Compliance Into the Weeds

Boaty McBoat, Risk and Compliance


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 into the recent grounding of the Ever Given in the Suez Canal, which has now been floated free. What does it mean from the risk management and compliance perspective? Some of the issues we consider are:

  • What were the controls in place to stop this failure?
  • What changed which rendered these controls ineffective and even obsolete?
  • What is your risk program around supply chain disruption?
  • Was this a Black Swan event?
  • What does this mean for compliance officers?

FCPA Compliance Report – Episode 344 – Virginia Suveiu

Legal Risk Management Specialized Studies Certificate Program for UCI Extension, where she teaches for that program and the Contract Management Certificate Program. She has published articles on various business law matters, most recently for the National Contract Management Association’s Contract Management Magazine May 2015 issue, as well as for the National Center for State Courts and the Aerospace and Defense Forum. Every corporation and compliance practitioner faces a wide variety of risks. These include regulatory risks, legal risks, reputational risks, safety risks, environmental risks, and many other types of risks. We consider whether there is one process or approach to take to the over-arching concept of risk management or if the approach needs to be fined tuned by an organization. We discuss the Legal Risk Management Specialized Studies Certificate Program, including the program benefits and who should attend. We explore the approach to teaching risk management. We discuss some of her current initiatives on the study of and teaching of risk. In this episode, I discuss with Virginia Suveiu the theories of risk and the process of risk management.
