Compliance into the Weeds-Episode 25

In this episode Matt Kelly and I take a deep dive into a couple of recent SEC enforcement actions. The first involved L-3 Technologies and accounting irregularities. The second involves BlackRock and the continued issues around pre-taliation. We connect these enforcement actions to broader issues involving the COSO 2013 Framework, the DOJ mandated expertise in compliance, a speak-up culture and remedial actions.
