Looking for some hard-hitting insights on compliance? Look no further than Compliance into the Weeds! In this episode, Tom and Matt take a deep dive into the recent Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) enforcement action involving the ERP software giant SAP.
The recent $220 million fine imposed on German software giant, SAP, for violations of the FCPA underscores the critical role of internal audits in maintaining corporate compliance. Despite having a comprehensive FCPA compliance program, SAP's lack of control over its subsidiaries led to bribery activities, a situation that Tom and Matt believe could have been prevented with a robust internal audit function. Fox emphasized the need for strong internal audits to identify and address issues within different parts of an organization. Similarly, Kelly, underscored the importance of internal audits in identifying and rectifying control lapses. To delve deeper into this topic and understand the implications of the SAP case, join Tom Fox and Matt Kelly on this episode of the Compliance into the Weeds.
