TREND ALERT
“Whether the compliance officer reports to the general counsel or the CEO is not going to govern an analysis of whether the compliance
function is working. What’s more important than where compliance is housed is the independence of the function, that the compliance
officer has a ‘voice at the table’ and can be heard by the board.”—Andrew Weissmann
Chief, Fraud Section – Criminal DivisionU.S. Department of Justice

TREND ALERT
“ Strong compliance must be data-driven. A good compliance officer should be able to rattle off a list [of the types of data they would
monitor] off the top of their heads and their list will tell me the level of their sophistication as a compliance professional. Similarly, when I look at compliance programs, the kind of data that they do and do
not monitor tells me a lot about how sophisticated their program is.”

TREND ALERT
“ Every piece of your program needs to actually be tied to the operations of your company. When you don’t tie those systems
together, it’s very easy to ignore the other system that’s not necessary to make the transaction happen.”

TREND ALERT
“ Companies have searched for reasonable metrics to assess how likely their employees are to follow their rules...But years into this quest, many
compliance experts are no closer to agreeing what exactly a culture of compliance is or how to measure it.”

TREND ALERT
“ A firm’s culture is a key driver behind the behavior of those in it. In many cases, where things have gone wrong in a firm, a cultural issue
is at the heart of the problem.”

TREND ALERT
“ The fact is that many of our internal processes, controls, and actions around compliance have been inadequate, and some decisions have just
been plain wrong. As a result, [CEO Conrad] Parker has resigned. In order for us to move forward as a company, we cannot seek to hide or
downplay the problem. We must admit it and remediate it as soon as possible.
