The top compliance roundtable podcast is back with a wealth of new topics.
- Matt Kelly opens with a discussion the ongoing comments by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein on compliance, the FCPA, the Yates Memo and asks: Has he really said anything?
For Matt Kelly’s posts on speeches of Rosenstein, see the following:

Rosenstein Talks Yates Memo, Says Diddly
- Jonathan Armstrong considers the Paradise Paper and what it means for the compliance practitioner. He contrasts this data dump with that of the Panama Papers and asks if companies should be called out for engaging in legal tax avoidance as opposed to illegal tax evasion.
- Jay Rosen considers the number of recent comments about corporate monitors. He reviews statements by Rod Rosenstein, Dan Khan and Hui Chen. He explains the role of corporate monitors and how they can assist the compliance practitioner after an incident occurs or in a pro-active manner.
To see the DOJ statements on monitors, see the Morford Memo, the Breuer Memo and Grindler Memo.
- Mike Volkov returns to his DOJ roots as an anti-trust specialist in discussing the DOJ position in the ATT merger with Time Warner. He explains how both vertical and horizontal integration work in the context of an anti-trust matter; how the proposed sale of CNN would (or not) remedy anything and whether the President’s statements come into play.
The gang is back with rants which follow the discussions.
