Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast which takes a deep dive into a compliance related topic, literally going into the weeds to more fully explore a subject. In this episode, Matt Kelly and I go into the weeds about the Ericsson FCPA enforcement action from the internal controls perspective. 

Some of the highlights include:

Ø  What does this enforcement action tell up about internal controls?

Ø  How were the business units able to evade internal controls for so long?

Ø  Was there control override?

Ø  What is the role of ERP systems such as Oracle and SAP in compliance?

Ø  If a company refuses to use standard ERP systems, is that a control failure under the FCPA?

Ø  What are the lessons learned for a corporate compliance program?

Ø  What does all this mean for compliance professionals going forward?
