9/9/16: Say what? The Tudors and Henry VIII were many things, but characters capable of teaching something about modern compliance? They are exactly that in the hands of Tom Fox who brings readers through a pointed history lesson before concluding that it “… illustrates a key theme of compliance programs. It is that compliance programs must be flexible and have the ability to evolve.” Fox goes on, “Simply put, it is not in the business interest of US companies (or others subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act [FCPA]) to have a static compliance program. Compliance programs must have the flexibility to respond to a wide variety of factors, including changing market conditions both inside a corporation and on the ground.”
