Welcome to From the Editor’s Desk, a podcast where co-hosts Tom Fox and Kyle Brasseur, EIC at Compliance Week, unpack some of the top stories which have appeared in Compliance Week over the past month, look at top compliance stories upcoming for the next month, talk some sports and generally try to solve the world’s problems.
In this month’s episode, we look back at top stories in CW from May around ESG at FedEx and key enforcement actions. May was also a record month for traffic on the Compliance Week website. Kyle and Tom talk about the recently held Compliance Week 2022 Conference, which took place in DC. We talked about some of the highlights from presentations, from new vendors in the compliance space, and how great it was to be together in person again. Kyle previewed some topics that Compliance Week will report in June, including Return to Work issues from the compliance perspective, coverage of CW 2022, Russia sanctions, and new ideas from the compliance officer think tank held at CS 2022.
We conclude with a look at some of the top sports stories, including the NBA playoffs and the Celtics making it to the 2022 NBA finals. Tom talks about the Nick Saban/Jimbo Fisher feud over college football recruiting, and Kyle reminds us of the Celtics taking the long view on developing talent.
