FCPA Rollbacks, OCC Risk Tolerance, and Crypto Compliance Gaps
In this week's episode, Joe McNamara and John Byrne examine significant shifts in the regulatory landscape, starting with a tribute to compliance leader Anna Rentschler. They dive into concerning changes to FCPA enforcement guidance that critics say abandons universal ethical standards, the OCC's unusual LinkedIn post signaling increased risk tolerance for banks, and growing threats to the Corporate Transparency Act. The discussion moves internationally to cover the UK's crypto asset sanctions compliance findings, the EU's latest money laundering risk assessment highlighting fintech vulnerabilities, and an FBI advisory on the Scattered Spider cybercriminal group.
