Welcome to the Hughes Hubbard Anti-Corruption & Internal Investigations Practice Group’s podcast, All Things Investigation. In this podcast, host Tom Fox welcomes back Mike DeBernardis to discuss recent corruption convictions involving individuals connected to Venezuela, as highlighted in Hughes Hubbard & Reed’s ‘Month in a Minute.’ We use these criminal matters as a starting point to discuss how companies can effectively manage compliance in high-risk areas by assessing risks, crafting risk management strategies, implementing specific controls, documenting processes, and training employees. We emphasize the importance of maintaining thorough documentation to meet regulatory requirements and auditing standards.
