Our fifth episode, “Anti-Corruption Compliance: Bribery & FCPA”, features guest speakers Jim McCurry, Jon Kolodner, and Lisa Vicens.  I asked our guests for one “actionable, monetizable takeaway” for our listeners.  Lisa said:

 

“I echo what both Jon and Jim said.  I think, building on to that, a key takeaway is that something that we’ve known for a long time and that I think has become increasingly apparent during a pandemic, where all of us are in different locations but participating on zoom, we’re increasingly global.  Authorities around the world are focused on this as well and we can expect to see more cooperation by authorities across the world.  What that means for companies is that companies that operate on a global basis also need to be more sensitive to what’s happening in the other countries that they operate in.  Not only creating a unified compliance program, but really trying to create a unified culture and a unified understanding and sharing values around these issues.”
