Compliance into the Weeds: Global Anti-Corruption Leadership

The award-winning Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast that takes a deep dive into a compliance-related topic, literally going into the weeds to explore a subject more fully. Are you looking for some hard-hitting insights on compliance? Look no further than Compliance into the Weeds! In this episode, Tom Fox and Matt Kelly are joined by Mary Inman, a founding partner at Whistleblower Partners.

Matt, Tom, and Mary reflect on the global response to anti-corruption measures following an executive order issued by former President Trump. The conversation highlights webinars conducted in early 2025 that addressed concerns over who would enforce anti-corruption laws worldwide if the United States stepped back. The sentiment among countries like Brazil, Hong Kong, Singapore, England, and France was clear; they were ready to take on the mantle themselves.

Mary reports on her conversations with the SFO in London about instituting a whistleblower program and similar initiatives in the United Kingdom at His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs and the Financial Conduct Authority.

Key highlights:

  • Global Anti-Corruption Sentiment Post-Trump’s Executive Order
  • Encouraging International Enforcement
  • Evidence of Global Enforcement Actions
  • Whistleblower Incentives in the UK
  • Global Leadership in Anti-Corruption
