Ericsson from the Internal Controls Perspective

Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast which takes a deep dive into a compliance related topic, literally going into the weeds to more fully explore a subject. In this episode, Matt Kelly and I go into the weeds about the Ericsson FCPA enforcement action from the internal controls perspective.  Some of the highlights include: Ø  What does this enforcement action tell up about internal controls? Ø  How were the business units able to evade internal controls for so long? Ø  Was there control override? Ø  What is the role of ERP systems such as Oracle and SAP in compliance? Ø  If a company refuses to use standard ERP systems, is that a control failure under the FCPA? Ø  What are the lessons learned for a corporate compliance program? Ø  What does all this mean for compliance professionals going forward? Resources Tom’s blog posts, both the FCPA Compliance and Ethics Blog.
