Everything Compliance: Episode 135, The Driving in Louisville Edition

Welcome to the only roundtable podcast in compliance as we celebrate our second century of shows.

In this episode, we have the septet of shout-outs and rantors; Jonathan Marks, Matt Kelly, special guests Karen Moore and Mike DeBernardis, all hosted by Tom Fox.

1. Matt Kelly took a deep dive into the report damning the FDIC for its toxic culture. He praises the Supreme Court for upholding the constitutionality of the CFPB’s rants about right-wing radicals trying to destroy democratic institutions through the courts.

2. Guest Panelist Karen Moore reviews a court of appeals decision on a Title VII and Equal Protection clause case regarding DEI training . She sends sympathies to all those who have experienced flooding and shouts out to two Brazilian rowers, Evaldo Mathias Becker and Piedro Tuchtenhagen gave up on their Olympic dreams to stay in their home state of Rio Grande do Sul after heavy rains devastated the state.

3. Jonathan Marks discusses new PCAOB Rules on Auditor Quality Controls. He shouts out to Dylan Beard, a Walmart deli worker who qualified for spot at the U.S. Olympic track and field trials in June in the hurdles. As an unsponsored athlete, his employer, Walmart, presented him with a check for $20,000 so his friends and family could support him as he made his way to the Olympic trials.

4. Special Guest Panelist Mike DeBernardis reviews the DOJ Whistleblower Program—how will it put additional pressure on the compliance function and outside counsel regarding investigations? He shouts out to the Washington Commanders for some long awaited sanity with the club’s new owners.
