Welcome to the award-winning FCPA Compliance Report, the longest running podcast in compliance. In this edition of the FCPA Compliance Report, Tom welcomes back Mary Inman, partner at the newly formed Whistleblower Partners LLP. They talk about the new Department of Justice (DOJ) initiative to pay a bounty to whistleblowers.
Mary Inman is a well-recognized authority in the realm of whistleblowing programs. In this episode, she focuses on DOJ whistleblower program. Her perspective on the program is cautiously optimistic, acknowledging the potential gains in encouraging whistleblowers to disclose information about financial crimes and corruption. However, she has expressed concerns about certain aspects of the program’s design, such as excluding culpable whistleblowers and limiting the type of information that can be provided.
These viewpoints stem from her extensive experience and deep understanding of the complexities involved in implementing effective whistleblower programs. Drawing from her expertise, Inman also emphasizes the need for confidentiality and anonymity for whistleblowers, similar to the SEC program, suggesting that while the DOJ program is a positive step, careful consideration and potential revisions are required to ensure its effectiveness and fairness.
Key Highlights:

Financial Crime Whistleblower Reward Initiative

Promoting Transparency Through Compliance Officer Resignations

Whistleblower Protection for Mental Well-being

Welcome to the award-winning FCPA Compliance Report, the longest-running podcast in compliance.
In this edition of the FCPA Compliance Report, Tom welcomes back Jonathan Wilson, one of the country’s top experts on the Corporate Transparency Act. We dissect the court decision in the case of the National Small Business Union, which invalidated the CTA and what it might mean for the law going forward.
Jonathan Wilson is a well-respected figure in corporate transparency and has established an impressive body of work around the Corporate Transparency Act. He is the founder of FinCEN Report, a company that helps businesses and others comply with the CTA.
Wilson’s perspective on the Act hinges on his understanding of its legal implications and practical considerations, warning companies that, despite a recent district court decision, they are still required to meet filing obligations. We take a deep dive into the court opinion, how it applied (or misapplied) US law and explain the need for continued compliance with the law.
Even with this court decision, Wilson’s advice is clear, companies must continue with compliance efforts and fulfill their reporting requirements, as delays will not alter the facts or obligations of the Act. The invalidation of the CTA is only applicable to the named plaintiff in the Northern District of Alabama so all others must continue to comply with the law.
Key Highlights:

CTA Overturned—Is Interstate Commerce Affected?

What is the US National Security Interest?

Beneficial Owner Disclosure in Money Laundering

Senate Ratification of International Treaties

Navigating Legal Compliance in Competitive Business Environment

Welcome to the award-winning FCPA Compliance Report, the longest-running podcast in compliance. In this edition of the FCPA Compliance Report, Tom welcomes back Mike Lindsey to discuss the Corporate Transparency Act. In a first for the FCPA Compliance Report, after the episode was recorded but before it was posted, the CTA was declared unconstitutional by a Trump appointed US District Judge. We recorded an addendum to consider this court decision invalidating the law.
Mike Lindsey, a distinguished corporate and transactional lawyer based at Steinbrecher & Span, has built a solid reputation as an authority on the CTA. Lindsey’s insights into the CTA are influenced by his emphasis on privacy and data security, highlighting the risks correlated with a centralized database potentially accessible via the dark web. From his perspective, the CTA serves as a critical federal law designed to increase transparency around beneficial ownership of corporations and inhibit illegal activities such as money laundering, tax evasion, and fraud. However, Lindsey also questions its effectiveness in disclosing ownership by entities like the Iran Revolutionary Guard. Despite this, he sees the CTA as a ground-breaking move for privately held companies, requiring them to report beneficial owners, something uncommon among small businesses in the United States. Ultimately, Lindsey views the CTA as an essential measure towards impeding financial crimes and enhancing accountability in corporate structures.
We also discuss the trial court decision in the case of the National Small Business Union, which invalidated the CTA and what it might mean for the law going forward. 
Key Highlights:

Beneficial Ownership Disclosure Law

Key Players in Corporate Decision-Making

CTA Compliance Impact on Small Businesses

Federal Database Security Concerns

Illicit Financial Activities and National Security Measures
