Podcast: Andrew McBride on the FCPA, compliance, and cooperating with government

Julie DiMauro spoke to the founder and CEO of Integrity Bridge, and former Chief Risk & Compliance Officer of Albemarle Corporation.

We talked about:

  • the FCPA charges brought by the SEC and DOJ against Albemarle in 2023;
  • sales agents, internal controls and third-party risk in sales transactions;
  • the cooperation credit afforded Albemarle and what got them a steep penalty discount;
  • self-reporting, cooperating and remediating a compliance program in practice under a revised Corporate Enforcement Policy at the DOJ;
  • the DOJ’s new white-collar crime enforcement priority list and revisions to its Whistleblower Pilot Program;
  • his advice on navigating a shifting regulatory landscape and uncertainty; and
  • possible AI use cases in ethics and compliance programs and using data analytics in compliance program oversight.
