2025-08-0716 minCompliance PerspectivesStacy Parks on Speaking the Next Generation’s Language [Podcast]By Adam Turteltaub
I recently learned that at the US Department of Justice’s law library, one of the most common requests the librarians receive is for vintage dictionaries. Why? Because the lawyers often need to find out what the definition of a word was at the time a law was passed.
Meanings change over time in the law and in the vernacular. Remember when describing something as “sick” meant that it was bad? Now it’s the opposite.
Stacey Parks, Ethics Officer, Enterprise Operations and International Ethics at Lockheed Martin will be taking on our evolving language at the 2025 SCCE Complian...
2025-08-0514 minCompliance PerspectivesTobias Kruis on European Compliance Requirements [Podcast]By Adam Turteltaub

2025-07-1710 minCompliance PerspectivesHassan Chaudry on Compliance in a Joint Venture [Podcast]By Adam Turteltaub
Joint ventures are created to capitalize on a business opportunity, but they come with challenges. Each partner may have a different experience with or attitude towards compliance. They may have distinctly different cultures, and, in the worst case, may each be expecting the other to be watching compliance when, in fact, no one is.
Hassan Chaudry, a member of the SCCE & HCCA Board and Chief Compliance Officer of POSCO JV, a General Motors joint venture, recommends several keys to success in JVs. First, having meaningful conversations with leadership right at the start is important, especially if it...

Overall, she sees the document as being good news for compliance programs. It reiterates the importance and value of quickly finding and remediating violations.
The DOJ also outlines some very favorable terms for organizations that self-disclose. These c...
2025-06-1911 minCompliance PerspectivesAndres Cuevas on Compliance, Culture and Latin America [Podcast]By Adam Turteltaub
Andres Cuevas, Compliance Director LATAM for EmergentCold explains from Chile that for compliance officers to be successful in Latin America they need to stop thinking about Latin America as a whole and start thinking much more about each country and its culture.
And, of course, we must be mindful that each company also has a culture of its own.
To navigate the differences and build consistency, he advocates for having a strong set of baselines rules that are common across your enterprise and the region. Establish what is non-negotiable. But, at the same time, it’s important to...
2025-06-1712 minCompliance PerspectivesMark Diamond on Rethinking Records Retention [Podcast]By Adam Turteltaub
Mark Diamond wants you to stop thinking of records retention as a chore and start thinking of it as a driver of compliance. In this podcast the President & CEO of Contoural shares that retention schedules have grown in importance with increased requirements for privacy and safeguarding personal data. That, in turn, is having an enormous impact on the risks and costs of ediscovery.
Proper retention schedules also have significant impact on employee productivity and collaboration, as well as using AI in less risky ways.
Organizations are now increasingly treating records based on their business value and are...
2025-06-1214 minCompliance PerspectivesNick Gallo on the Controls Paradox [Podcast]By Adam Turteltaub
In a recent issue of Compliance & Ethics Professional ®, Nick Gallo, Chief Servant and Co-CEO of Ethico addressed the control paradox, a situation in which the controls designed to prevent misconduct, actually encourage it. Think of it like the person whose car has so many airbags that they no longer fear an accident and drive quicker.
So what’s the solution? He argues it’s creating an environment where we have faith in controls, but not too much, and focus on helping those on the front line make the right decisions. That includes, he says, teaching not just what...

Recently, Gartner released very intriguing research into third party risk. Chris Audet, Vice President and Chief of Research in the Gartner Assurance Practice tell us that they found business has it’s spending all wrong. Too much is invested in due diligence, and not enough time and effort is spent on monitoring.
There research found that the business unit knows the risks third parties pose and is seeing it firsthand. When relationship managers were surveyed, 84% had seen changes to the risk profile and 76% found a third party had provided materially inaccurate information. In fact, 95% had seen something tro...
2025-06-0510 minCompliance PerspectivesRobert Stratton on Healthcare Enterprise Risk Management [Podcast]By Adam Turteltaub
Risk assessments are not new in healthcare, and in specific regulatory areas are required. But, that doesn’t mean things aren’t changing. More and more organizations are embracing enterprise risk assessments (ERM) as a way to assess the range of risks that they face, including legal and regulatory concerns.
Getting the risk assessment right is particularly challenging for healthcare organizations, explains Robert Stratton, Executive Director – Enterprise Risk and Security; Corporate Compliance Official and Senior Counsel for Northwest Permanente. Robert is also the author of the chapter “Enterprise Risk Management in Healthcare” in the latest edition of the Complete...
2025-06-0310 minCompliance PerspectivesRyan Redman and Brett Sommers on AI and Cybercrime [Podcast]By Adam Turteltaub
As if ransomware and phishing attacks weren’t enough to keep us up at night, now AI is enabling a whole new range of cyber threats.
Ryan Redman, Product Manager, Marketing and Brett Sommers, Director of GRC Products at Onspring warn that the nature of attacks is evolving. Vishing, in which criminals use technology to imitate the voices of colleagues and organization leaders, is being used to trick people into revealing passwords, share data or send money. Employees need to learn to be wary and even confirm requests, even from trusted voices, via email or other means.

These are fractious times, and it’s often difficult to figure out what to do, what comes next and keep people with divergent views working together.
Despite these challenges, Anna Romberg, Executive Vice President, Sustainability, Legal and Compliance for Getinge, doesn’t believe that things are hopeless. In an article she co-authored with Richard Bistrong for Harvard Business Review, they laid out several strategies for successfully navigating the current era.
In this podcast, she reminds us that ethics and compliance programs are about more than following the law. They are also about encouraging good behavior, which includes follow...
2025-05-2711 minCompliance PerspectivesLisa Beth Lentini Walker on Resiliency and Changing Times [Podcast]By Adam Turteltaub
Do you ever wish you were made of rubber, especially nowadays with so much change? Do you wish that you could be flexible enough to handle every new legal regulatory change or every business demand without breaking?
It’s not likely to happen, but compliance industry veteran Lisa Beth Lentini Walker believes that we can become more resilient. Resilience, she observes, is a mindset. We can work to become more adaptable and open to change by framing it in the right way. If you look at it with dread, you are less likely to succeed. But, if yo...

Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Kyrgyzstan were all born out of the dissolution of the Soviet Union. With large energy deposits of national gas, many global companies and their suppliers are operating within these countries.
To better understand the compliance risks there, we spoke with Timur Khasanov-Batirov, a compliance officer with deep and wide roots in the region.
While we may think of this area as one region, he warns that there are substantial differences by country. Kazakhstan is the most developed, and compliance has gained significant traction in large companies, primarily in the oil and gas...
2025-05-2010 minCompliance PerspectivesRachel Gerstein on Trade Sanctions [Podcast]By Adam Turteltaub
It’s not a good time to be a manufacturer of ten-foot poles. That’s because with the growing number of sanctions regimes, there are an increasing number of companies and individuals that businesses shouldn’t touch with a poll of ten feet, or any length for that matter.
Rachel Gerstein, who most recently served as Vice President, Global Ethics and Compliance Counsel for Gartner, explains in this podcast that trade sanctions are laws and regulations designed to prevent and punish engaging with countries, organization and individuals who the government has deemed a threat to national and intern...
2025-05-1511 minCompliance PerspectivesColleen Gianatasio on Value-Based Care and Compliance [Podcast]By Adam Turteltaub
The current fee-for-services model in healthcare has challenges, to say the least. Value-based care, explains, Colleen Gianatasio, Vice President of Compliance, CoventBridge, takes a different approach by asking four questions:
What are the needs for both patients and providers?
What are the challenges and barriers to meeting them?
What technology and other resources are available?
How will providers be measured for success, and when will they be reimbursed?
In answering these questions there is an underlying emphasis on a much more collaborative and transparent approach among patients, providers and payers. There is also a commitment to understanding...

Recently Protiviti released an intriguing report: Top Compliance Priorities for U.S. Healthcare Organizations in 2025. In this podcast their Global Healthcare Compliance Leader, Leyla Erkan, shares some of the key priorities they revealed:
Managing technology. This includes wearable devices, AI, telehealth platforms and more. All have great promise, but each comes with significant risk.
Privacy and security. Many organizations are struggling with right of access issues, reproductive health data, and using data more effectively to deliver care. Not to mention the issues of data breaches and ransomware.
Integrating quality and safety into compliance programs. As with value-based...
2025-05-0810 minCompliance PerspectivesEric Shoemaker on Establishing the Value of a Cybersecurity Compliance Program [Podcast]By Adam Turteltaub
How much is your cybersecurity program worth? Traditionally the thinking has kind of been: if we don’t have a breach it’s expensive but valuable, and if we do have one it’s both expensive and worthless.
Eric Shoemaker of Genius GRC advocates for a different way to value cybersecurity efforts. Instead of just looking at what it prevents, also look at what it enables: your organization to do business with less friction. A good cybersecurity program give customers the confidence that you are safe to do business with. It prevents business interruptions, and doesn’t get too m...
2025-05-0613 minCompliance PerspectivesVirginia MacSuibhne on Mistakes and What She Learned from Them [Podcast]By Adam Turteltaub
Virginia MacSuibhne is not your typical compliance officer. It’s not surprising then that this former global chief compliance at Agilent and Roche, who also has an Etsy shop selling irreverent, NSFW compliance merch, decided she wanted to do an atypical podcast.
Rather than focusing on a brilliant idea she had or a huge success, she suggested we discuss the mistakes she has made. Each of them has an important lesson for others in compliance.
Mistake #1: Do the code of conduct yourself.
It’s far better to involve the business team both to gain their insights and get...
2025-05-0115 minCompliance PerspectivesColin May on Creating Compelling Scenarios and Case Studies [Podcast]By Adam Turteltaub
A good, juicy case study is great for compliance training. An artfully created scenario can also be remarkably effective, especially for ethics training.
What makes them so appealing, and how do you use them best? Colin May, Adjunct Professor at Stevenson University, explains that problem-based learning is very effective for adults both for knowledge transfer and retention. It also helps people apply what they have learned.
Case studies, which are based on actual incidents, and scenarios, which are fictional, also benefit from a human love of stories.
When determining whether to use a case study, scenario or...
2025-04-2913 minCompliance PerspectivesAsaf Shalev on HR and Compliance [Podcast]By Adam Turteltaub
There’s a lot of discussion about the relationship between compliance and the general counsel. Less words, though, have been dedicated to the important relationship between compliance and HR.
Netherlands-based Asaf Shalev, Global Ethics, Risk & Compliance Lead for DLL rightly observes that maximizing synergy between the work of HR and compliance is a key for success of both the compliance program and the business. The departments share overlapping interests in a number of areas, including the code of conduct. He advocates both sides working closely together to ensure that it is human centric.
When it comes to co...
2025-04-2414 minCompliance PerspectivesSarah Hadden on Compliance Officer Stress and Burnout [Podcast]By Adam Turteltaub
Stress can be a good thing. Burnout, though, is something altogether different and very real for compliance professionals.
Sarah Hadden (LinkedIn), CEO and Publisher of Corporate Compliance Insights shares in this podcast the not always encouraging data on stress and burnout from their 2025 Compliance Officer Working Conditions, Stress & Mental Health survey.
The research did reveal some very good news. Compliance officers are generally happy with their work. They have a sense of purpose and feel that what they are doing is important. The findings also revealed a small but notable increase in the belief that the organization...
2025-04-2210 minCompliance PerspectivesCatherine Bruno on Risk Assessments and Demonstrating Value [Podcast]By Adam Turteltaub
There is a tendency to think of risk assessment as one thing and demonstrating the value of the compliance program as another. In this podcast, Catherine Bruno, Assistant Director Office of Integrity and Compliance (OIC) at the FBI shows that the risk assessment process can also be a great way to demonstrate the value of a strong compliance program.
So how do they make that happen? First, the OIC ensures that individuals who are closer to the risk, the subject matter experts at each of the divisions at FBI headquarters, as well as each field office, are i...
2025-04-1710 minCompliance PerspectivesLisanne Winde and Alain Lambert on Works Councils [Podcast]By Adam Turteltaub
The words “works council” inspires fear and dread in the hearts and minds of many who have never worked with them. They need not, says Lisanne Winde, attorney at law at Wybenga advocaten and Alain Lambert, regional ethics and compliance officer for Central Europe at WSP.
In this podcast, they share how the works council can actually help compliance teams.
These entities are not unions but are specific to the company. They can be helpful for facilitating communication with employees and giving greater legitimacy to company policies. In practice they collaborate with management and can be more help...
2025-04-1511 minCompliance PerspectivesJon Rawlson on UPIC Audits [Podcast]By Adam Turteltaub
An audit by a Unified Program Integrity Contractor auditor, better known as a UPIC audit, can be a very scary thing. Providers are often shocked and even indignant to receive a letter notifying them of the audit and alleging fraud.
Jon Rawlson (LinkedIn), President & Founder of Armory Hill Advocates, reminds us that the audit was likely not triggered by an allegation but by an algorithm catching outlier events such as a provider processing claims outside of their normal daily work, utilizing a DME, a skin substitute or some other expensive item that is outside the norm.

As the sun set, the chief compliance officer stared out the window, wondering how she would communicate with her workforce in a way that they would understand. As much as she looked, the answer wasn’t outside in the skies turning from blue to black. She wasn’t finding it under the white LEDs in the ceiling above her desk, either.
Feeling a bit desperate, and a little bit bored, she decided to walk the halls to see if perhaps the answers were there. She got all of ten feet before a colleague stopped her, eyes open wide...

In addition to releasing its General Compliance Program Guidance, the OIG at HHS announced plans to publish a series of Industry Segment-Specific Compliance Program Guidances (ICPG). The first of these, addressing nursing facilities, was released in November 2024.
As CJ Wolf, Professor in healthcare Administration at BYU Idaho explains in this podcast, the first ICPG is instructive both for skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) and those looking to anticipate what will be coming in future ICPGs. Currently, three more are expected to be published in 2025: Medicare Advantage, hospital and clinical laboratories. Two additional ICPGs – pharmaceutical manufacturers and hospice – are also...

Sevda Huseynova is the Ethics and Compliance Officer for SOCAR Midstream, a state-owned enterprise (SOE) in Azerbaijan. The company manages the oil and gas export pipelines of the country.
If you think working for an SOE means you don’t have to worry about compliance, she warns you to think again. SOEs still faces risk in a wide range of areas including anticorruption, sanctions, third parties and more.
Investors want to ensure that the company operates up to global standards, which isn’t always easy since compliance is relatively new in Azerbaijan.
SOCAR midstream is up to the...

Business people are given all kinds of goals for revenues, profitability, efficiency and more. For compliance, though, not so often. Many organizations struggle with how to set compliance goals, or even if they should set them.
Madrid-based, Juan Ignacio Paillás, Head of Global Compliance Business Sectors for Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, explains how it should be done. First, he advises, understand the context in which you are working, particularly about how your organizations manages objectives.

2025-03-2510 minCompliance PerspectivesAlec Burlakoff on Preventing Fraud [Podcast]By Adam Turteltaub
Healthcare is often rife with fraud, and organizations struggle to prevent it. To gain a different perspective on how to prevent wrongdoing, we spoke with Alec Burlakoff, a convicted fraudster from Insys Pharmaceuticals who now leads Limitless! Consulting.
To prevent fraud, he recommends seriously looking at the incentives program in your organization, especially if there are individuals whose commissions may make up more than half of their compensation. Such high rates of reward, he warns, provide serious temptation to skirt, or outright disregard, the rules.
Look also at the messages that lucrative incentive programs send to others i...

Are your helpline calls being responded to properly? Are the investigations proceeding expeditiously and properly? To find out, it’s good to do an audit periodically.
Before you can begin, though, you need to determine if there is enough available data for an audit, cautions Juliette Gust, President of Ethics Suite, and author of the chapter “Auditing the Confidential Reporting Hotline and Case Management Program Effectives” in the new edition of The Complete Compliance and Ethics Manual. Many compliance programs still do not have formal processes in place, and for them, it’s best to start with a gap an...

Think you don’t have to worry about the SEC because you’re at a private company or a non-profit? Think again says, Kevin Muhlendorf, attorney at Wiley Rein. You may still end up in the Commission’s crosshairs.
He warns that the SEC’s power of investigations expands far and wide, and just being a supplier to a publicly-traded company may lead them to focus on your business. If a private company is acquired by a public one or makes even a non-public offering, there is risk of fraud and SEC action.
Lie to an accounting firm and...
2025-03-1315 minCompliance PerspectivesJill Swain and Dawn Wood on Compliance During Business Transformations [Podcast]By Adam Turteltaub
Business transformations can be times both of risk and opportunity for compliance programs. Employees, struggling to understand the changes around them and feeling stressed, may opt to do the wrong or at least ill-advised things. By the same token, transformations provide an opportunity for compliance teams to change their roles within the organization and redefine the value that they bring.
Jill Swain, Global Ethics Manager and Dawn Wood, Engagement, Training and Programme Manager at Rolls-Royce went through a major business transformation and will be sharing their insights from that experience in a session at the 2025 SCCE European...

Sometimes you make a few technical changes to a compliance program because a law or regulation has changed. Autoliv didn’t want to do that and just meet technical requirement of the EU Whistleblower Directive. They wanted to use it as an opportunity to assess what they were doing to encourage employee reporting, whether it was working, and to improve support for people speaking up.
Erica Wikman, Vice President, Corporate Compliance, Autoliv and David Barr (LinkedIn), co-founder of Campbell Barr, tells us in this podcast that they shared a vision of moving away from just whistleblowing. Research sho...

So the IT folk can’t wait for your business people to delete those old documents, meantime, the business people want to hold onto them because they never know when they might need that info again. Then, all of a sudden there’s a legal issue and a hold is in place. Instantly the game changes.

You do all that work but how do you know you’re being successful? It’s not like people come running in the door and say, “Hey, guess what bad thing I almost did.”

In this podcast, Natalie Knowles, Director of Compliance, and Zack Conyne, Manager, first provide an overview of the NSA. As they explain it has two primary missions: cybersecurity and signals intelligence.

There are steps we can all take to manage our stress levels.
One stressor to watch for is over vigilance. While we all need to be vigilant, assessing risk and watching out for threats, it needs to be tempered. Resist the temptation, he warns, to engage in worst case scenario thinking, which increases stress and makes it...

In this podcast Matej Drascek, Head of Internal Audit at LON d.d. and Ursula Schmidt of Schmidt Advisory recommend starting with the right language.

Also, words like “must” or “have to” carry more weight than “may” or “should”.

On November 6, 2024, the U.K.'s Home Office issued Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023: Guidance to organisations on the offence of failure to prevent fraud (the Guidance). It comes out of the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act (ECCTA), which establishes that a corporation can be held criminally liable for failing to prevent fraud committed by any “associated person” for the benefit of the company. This “associated person” can be an employee or even a third party.
There is a defense, explains James Tillen, member at Miller & Chevalier, for organizations that had reasonable prevention procedures at the time o...

Auditing and monitoring of the compliance program is pretty standard these days. Entain’s Karen Nightingale, Group Director of Ethics & Compliance and Jonathan Fox, Group Head of Ethics & Compliance Programmes, make the case in this podcast for going to the next level and actively testing your program.

Well, it turns out that you can be in two places at once, if you are a surgeon. Even better, you can bill the government under the Medicare program for being at both of them.
It’s not quite as strange as it sounds, explains Sara Brinkmann, Partner, and Lauren Gennett, Counsel, of King & Spalding, and, of course, there are rules.
Overlapping surgeries occur when one attending surgeon is responsible for procedures that overlap in time. The attending may perform the critical part of the procedure in both, assuming they are not supposed to happen at the ex...

On November 22, 2024, Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Nicole Argentieri recapped the changes made during the Biden Administration in enforcement policies and announced a few new ones. To better understand what this all means, we spoke with Daniel Kahn (LinkedIn) , partner at Davis Polk, and himself a veteran of the DOJ.
There were a number of meaningful changes during the last few years, he noted. Most notably the voluntary disclosure program was significantly expanded, with companies with aggravating circumstances now able to still have the possibility of a declination. There is a catch, though, the bar for cooperation h...

Retaliation is the bane of every compliance program, with the potential of destroying employee confidence in reporting systems, not to mention embarrassing and expensive lawsuits.
It is also complex and can be subtle, explains Keith Read, a former chief ethics and compliance officer and author of the book The Unconventional Compliance Officer: Doing Things Differently. There is overt retaliation, such as firing an employee for blowing the whistle. But there is also softer, more subtle retaliation, such as not including the whistleblower in meetings or on projects.

At Transparency International’s International Anti-Corruption Conference I had the good fortune of meeting Olusoji Apampa, CEO of Integrity Nigeria. I appreciated hearing his insights on corruption risk in Nigeria, and, to share them with a wider audience, we sat down for this podcast.
The risk, of course, is real and high. Worse, many have bought into the idea that there is nothing that can be done, which leads to more corruption. But, happily, he reports that you absolutely do not have to engage corruption to do business there.

Hilary Kitson, Research Compliance Business Partner at Saint Luke’s Health System, reports that typically the starting point is Title 42 PART 50 Subpart F in the Code of Federal Regulations. It lays out time points when disclosures are necessary:
Annually

At the time of application for PHS-Funded research
Disclosures aren’t enough, though. There needs to be investigators and a review committee who are co...

Stephen Paskoff, the President and CEO of ELI, explains that the guidance now treats LGBTQIA+ harassment similar to other forms of harassment.
The document now also addresses behavior outside of the workplace, making it clear that employers need to train and be more sensitive to behavior beyond the factory gates.

As the risk of human trafficking and modern slavery rises on the radar, compliance teams need to start their risk assessment by looking at the map, says Sam Logan, CEO and founder of Evidencity. The number of jurisdictions with laws in this area are increasing.
In addition, some countries have far greater risk than others, with long histories of exploitation. Remember, though, that there is no such thing as a safe geography.
