The process involves understanding who should perform the remediation, emphasizing independence and objectivity, integrating the information into solutions, and addressing deficiencies in internal controls. Key takeaways include using objective root cause analysis, effectively utilizing the information gathered, and implementing data-driven, repeatable solutions to prevent future issues.

  • Day 30 - The Foreign Extortion Prevention Act

    Day 30 - The Foreign Extortion Prevention Act
    Jan 30 2025
    Welcome to a special podcast series on the Compliance Podcast Network, 31 Days to a More Effective Compliance Program. Over these 31 days of the series in January 2025, Tom Fox will post a key part of a best practices compliance program daily. By the end of January, you will have enough information to create, design, or enhance a compliance program. Each podcast will be short, at 6–8 minutes, and will include three key takeaways you can implement at little or no cost to help update your compliance program. I hope you will join us each day in January for this exploration of best practices in compliance. On Day 30, we discuss the Foreign Extortion Prevention Act (FEPA), a significant piece of legislation that fills a critical gap in the FCPA. FEPA criminalizes not only the payment of bribes but also the solicitation and acceptance of bribes by foreign officials, thereby providing a more comprehensive framework for combating global corruption. This law protects American workers abroad, promotes fair business competition, and upholds ethical practices internationally. However, it also introduces challenges, such as the complexity of extraditing foreign officials and potential impacts on international relations and companies operating overseas. Compliance officers must reassess internal controls and develop response plans to navigate the implications of FEPA effectively.

    Day 29 - Enhancing Compliance through Automation
    Jan 29 2025
    Welcome to a special podcast series on the Compliance Podcast Network, 31 Days to a More Effective Compliance Program. Over these 31 days of the series in January 2025, Tom Fox will post a key part of a best practices compliance program daily. By the end of January, you will have enough information to create, design, or enhance a compliance program. Each podcast will be short, at 6–8 minutes, and will include three key takeaways you can implement at little or no cost to help update your compliance program. I hope you will join us each day in January for this exploration of best practices in compliance. Traditional compliance reporting methods, often reliant on manual processes like Excel spreadsheets, are time-consuming and prone to errors. This episode explores how Chief Compliance Officers and compliance professionals can enhance their programs through automation. By adopting data-driven solutions and leveraging regulatory operations (Reg Ops), it’s possible to provide near real-time reporting and improve decision-making efficiency. The focus is on integrating existing security and compliance tools, gathering real-time evidence, automating compliance gap tickets, and generating comprehensive reports for stakeholders. However, challenges like balancing data accuracy and security and the cultural transformation required for adopting these new practices are critical considerations. Embracing data-driven compliance can help organizations modernize and keep pace with the evolving regulatory landscape.
