FCPA Compliance Report – Special Edition on Is the US Going Socialist

Welcome to the award-winning FCPA Compliance Report, the longest-running podcast in compliance. In this episode, we discuss President Trump’s review of other interests in US business and its implications for compliance.

The panel explores the evolving landscape of government involvement in major U.S. corporations and the resulting compliance and anti-corruption risks. With recent actions by the Trump administration to acquire stakes or exert control over companies like US Steel and Intel, the discussion centers on the implications for FCPA enforcement, the definition of “instrumentality,” and the challenges facing compliance professionals as the boundaries between public and private sectors blur. The episode also examines international perspectives, potential conflicts of interest, and the impact on global business relationships.

Key highlights:

  • Introduction: Are We Becoming Socialist?
  • Golden Share and Control Mechanisms
  • Anti-Corruption Risks and FCPA Instrumentality
  • International Law and Foreign Supplier Risks
  • Conflicts of Interest and Board Representation
  • International Perspectives: UK and EU Compliance
  • Politically Exposed Persons and Due Diligence
  • Closing Thoughts: Navigating Uncharted Territory

Everything Compliance: Episode 159, The Socialism in the US Edition

Welcome to this Edition of award-winning Everything Compliance. In this episode, we have the quartet of Matt Kelly, Jonathan Marks,  Jonathan Armstrong, and Karen Moore with Tom Fox, the Compliance Evangelist, sitting in as host.

  1. Matt Kelly examines socialism under Trump through his investments in US corporations. He shouts out to CDC employees for honoring management who were summarily fired by Trump, and FEMA employees who whistled-blow on the Trump administration for gutting FEMA.
  2. Jonathan Marks takes a deep dive into the Liberty Mutual declination. He shouts out to Kyle Schwarber for his 4 home run, 9 RBI game, and to Dan Korem for his book, The Art of Profiling.
  3. Jonathan Armstrong considers whether AI should be the responsibility of a corporate compliance function and, if not, which function should be responsible. He rants about self-avowed UK racist Lucy Connolly for claiming she is a prisoner for free speech.
  4. Karen Moore takes a deep dive into a new whistleblower case filed by Rodney Campbell against Adobe. She shouts out to the Kyiv School of Economics for teaching the next generation of leaders and economists in Ukraine during the Russian invasion.
  5. Tom Fox shouts out to Cowboy owner Jerry Jones for upholding the great Texas tradition that a handshake is a contract by trading future HORer Micah Parsons for violating this sacred Texas screed. He also shouts out to ‘Scottish Girl’ (If you don’t know, you don’t know.)
