  1. Your Vendors Have Vendors

    Your Vendors Have Vendors

    Many companies carefully review each and every vendor. Almost none review their vendor's vendor. This creates one of the biggest blind spots in modern risk management. Your payroll vendor may use a third-party AI provider. Your software company may rely on multiple subcontractors. Your logistics provider may depend on dozens of suppliers across the globe. Every one of these relationships creates additional risk. Cybercriminals are exploiting fourth-party relationships to gain access to enterprise systems. Regulators are paying attention as well. You need to turn your attention to your vendors' vendors. The Ethics and Compliance Q and A show is produced by One Stone Creative.

    Episode 431 -- Bosch Pays $43 Million for Illegal Huawei Exports

    Bosch agreed to pay more than $43 million in penalties and disgorgement for illegally exporting products and software to Huawei in violation of U.S. export control laws, while simultaneously receiving the first declination issued under DOJ's revised National Security Division Corporate Enforcement Policy. In this episode, Michael Volkov examines the enforcement action, the compliance failures that led Bosch to misunderstand and misapply the Foreign Direct Product Rule, the warning signs the company failed to recognize, and the lessons organizations can learn about export controls compliance, compliance staffing, escalation procedures, and risk management. The episode also highlights the significant benefits of voluntary self-disclosure, cooperation, and remediation in reducing criminal enforcement risk in today's increasingly aggressive national security enforcement environment.

    Who Owns Third-Party AI Risk?

    When it comes to third-party vendors, what you don't know is hurting you. Third parties rely on AI for customer service, recruiting, compliance screening, marketing, and decision making. But when a third party uses AI, your organization is on the hook for legal, regulatory, contractual, and reputational risks. Organizations need to understand which third parties use AI, what tools they use, what data is being shared, what controls exist, and who is responsible when something inevitably goes wrong. Third-party AI governance is a critical component of vendor management. The Ethics and Compliance Q and A show is produced by One Stone Creative.

    Episode 430 -- OFAC's Iran General License X: A Temporary License or a Fundamental Shift?

    This episode examines OFAC’s new Iran General License X and why it may represent one of the most significant Iran sanctions developments in years. Michael Volkov explains what the license authorizes, why it matters amid ongoing diplomatic negotiations, and why companies should not mistake temporary sanctions relief for a permanent policy shift. The episode highlights practical compliance steps, including careful transaction analysis, documentation, due diligence, screening updates, and close monitoring before the license expires. As always, the focus is on practical, risk-based compliance: helping companies identify legitimate business opportunities while protecting ethics, integrity, and trust.

    5 Keys to Effective Trade Compliance (Part 2)

    Not all sanctions violations are willful. Some companies just don't know any better. An effective trade compliance program needs three critical elements. First, in addition to the two we spoke about in the last episode, organizations and companies have to monitor transactions, shipping documents, vessels, payment flows, and escalation of red flags. Employee training is critical. OFAC's compliance framework specifically identifies training as a core compliance expectation. And finally, organizations need to monitor, audit, and test whether their controls are actually working. A compliance program that is never tested is simply operating on assumptions. The best trade compliance programs don't just detect violations, they prevent them. The Ethics and Compliance Q and A show is produced by One Stone Creative.

    Episode 429 -- AI Governance Collision: Why Business and Compliance Must Stop Fighting and Start Building

    Artificial intelligence has created one of the most significant governance challenges organizations have faced in decades. Business leaders are under intense pressure to deploy AI quickly, while legal and compliance teams are warning about mounting regulatory, legal, operational, and reputational risks. In this episode, Michael Volkov explains why both sides are right, identifies the most dangerous AI governance gaps emerging across organizations today, and outlines a practical roadmap for responsible AI adoption. The message is clear: the companies that will succeed in the AI era will not be those that move fastest—they will be those that build sustainable AI programs grounded in governance, accountability, and trust.

    Episode 428 -- Michael Volkov Guest Appearance on Collin McKee's Podcast EndeavorsAI

    Most companies think they have a handle on AI. Most don't. Compliance attorney Michael Volkov has sat across the table from Fortune 500 compliance teams, major law firms, and Berkshire Hathaway subsidiaries — and what he keeps finding is "shadow AI": people using AI at work that leadership has no idea about. In this conversation with host Collin McKee, he breaks down where the real legal risk lives, how to protect your business, and why the smart move isn't to slow down — it's to deploy AI the right way. We get into: "Shadow AI" — why your team is already using it and what it exposes you to The vendor due-diligence checklist before you sign with any AI provider Why AI hallucinations are a liability you can be sued over HR, hiring bias, and high-risk algorithmic decisions Writing an AI acceptable-use policy that protects you without slowing you down The EU AI Act, litigation risk, and AI insurance Why you won't be replaced by AI — but by people who know how to use it A practical playbook for any business adopting AI, especially law firms and regulated industries.

    Episode 427 -- Venezuela Sanctions Update: Building the Operational Compliance Program

    Michael Volkov delivers the operational compliance program guidance companies must implement to execute safely within OFAC's new Venezuela general license framework, structured around five program pillars: transaction scoping with mandatory lifecycle revalidation at each critical deal stage; beneficial ownership-based counterparty due diligence that goes beyond standard SDN screening to identify Russia, Iran, Cuba, North Korea, and PRC-connected ownership structures; contract review and modification to incorporate mandatory U.S. governing law provisions, sanctions representations, FGDF payment mechanics clauses, and robust termination rights; pre-built Foreign Government Deposit Fund payment procedures requiring documented legal and compliance approval, a standardized State Department submission package, and advance coordination before payment deadlines arrive; and a transaction-specific reporting compliance program with calendar-tracked deadlines under GL 52, GL 46B, and GL 51B. Michael concludes that the new Venezuela framework creates genuine commercial opportunity but demands purpose-built compliance architecture—companies that proceed without it are not operating within the authorization.
