Everything Compliance-Episode 28

This week the gang sticks a roundtable Q&A, with a focus on the Michael Cohen imbroglio. Jay Rosen considers the lessons to be learned in hiring third-parties. Matt Kelly considers issue from the COSO angle: the control environment v. compliance activities. Mike Volkov weighs in search warrant and Bank Secrecy Act perspective.
