Welcome to the only roundtable podcast in compliance. Today, we begin a two-part series on our fan favorite year-end wrap up on the state of compliance under the Trump Administration. We have been following this topic since Trump was elected in 2016 and it is one of the most anticipated podcast releases for the year. Today, we have a triple serving of Jay Rosen and Matt Kelly, with a potpourri of topics. Rants and shout-outs follow the commentary for this episode.

1. Matt Kelly looks at what the SEC has accomplished (or not) over the past year as I pose the question “has Jay Clayton actually done anything?” Kelly rants about Attorney General Bill Barr’s theory of the unitary executive and blaming the Secular Left for the ills under Trump.

2. Jay Rosen discusses compliance programs from the Benczkowski Memo to Evaluation of Corporate Compliance beyond, and what does it mean for the compliance practitioner. Rosen shouts out to ethical sports practices.

3. Tom Fox sits in on this episode to discuss the policy announcements which promoted corporate compliance programs this year, including the Criminal Division’s Guidance on compliance programs, the Antitrust Division’s Guidance on compliance programs and the OFAC Compliance Framework. Fox provides advice to Elon Musk that if you are unveiling a bullet-proof car on live TV, then make sure the windows are actually bullet-proof before you throw metal balls at them and they shatter.
