In this podcast I welcome back John Hanson, founder and President of the International Association of Independent Compliance Monitors (IAICM) the only professional group for independent corporate monitors. The IAICM was announced one year ago in conjunction with the ABA White Collar Conference. At it's one-year anniversary, Hanson returns to the podcast to reflect on the growth the IAICM, assess the first year of IAICM, discuss of the highlights of the first year for you as President of the IAICM and then goes into some of the goals or initiatives for the IAICM in year 2.
With the announcement of the Justice Department’s Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs in February and new FCPA Corporate Enforcement Policy in November, the landscape for monitors will likely continue to evolve in 2018. Hanson and I consider what these and other DOJ announcements may portend, including the following questions:
As with all visits with Hanson, they are thoughtful, well-informed and very insightful. If you practice in the FCPA world or in the broader international anti-bribery/anti-corruption sphere, you will not want to miss this interview.
