Episode 24— The Self-Disclosure Edition

What happens when two top compliance commentators get together? They talk about compliance, of course. Join Tom Fox and Kristy Grant-Hart in 2 Gurus Talk Compliance as they discuss the latest compliance issues in this week's episode! In this episode, Tom and Kristy take on a wide variety of compliance-related topics. The Department of Justice (DOJ) is launching a paid whistleblower initiative, specifically targeting cases of criminal exploitation of the U.S. financial system that slip through the cracks of existing agency schemes. This move has elicited various perspectives, notably from compliance experts Tom Fox and Kristy Grant-Hart. Fox, drawing on his extensive experience in compliance, identifies the program as a vital development, filling a gap in whistleblower compensation efforts. He anticipates that it will compel compliance officers to foster a culture of reporting and enhance efficiency in managing investigations. On the other hand, Kristy, a renowned compliance specialist, also views the initiative positively but expresses concerns about the increased pressure on organizations to ensure compliance. Despite this, both experts agree that the program is a step in the right direction towards promoting transparency, accountability, and ethical corporate behavior.  Highlights Include: 1.        DAG Monaco Speech (DOJ Release) 2.        Lisa Argentieri Speech (DOJ Release) 3.        CTA struck down (WSJ) 4.        Leadership Lessons from Robert Oppenheimer (WSJ) 5.         State governments move to regulate AI (NYU) 6.         The Percentage Of Corporate DOJ And SEC FCPA Enforcement Actions That Result From A Voluntary Disclosure (FCPA Professor)  7.         Husband Who Eavesdropped on Wife’s Work Calls Pleads Guilty to Insider Trading (WSJ)  8.         SEC Adopts Climate Disclosure Rule (Radical Compliance) 9.         Is It Ever OK to Have an 8 a.m. Meeting?
