Corporate Ethics Advocate Thomas Fox Talks Trump Effect in Podcasts, E-Book
Corporate compliance consultant, author and lawyer Thomas Fox is producing a new podcast series that has generated an e-book exploring the outlook for business ethics at home and overseas under incoming President Donald Trump.
“Trump and Compliance: This Conversation is Just Getting Started” is published by Corporate Compliance Insights, headed by Maurice Gilbert. Its content comes from discussions on Fox’s podcast series, “Everything Compliance.” Part 1 is titled, “This is not the apocalypse (yet).”
As an authority on the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, compliance and ethics, Fox is hosting the discussions with other experts in the field, and all are contributors to this e-book.
His podcasts can be found on his FCPA Compliance & Ethics website.
“I am a bit more sanguine than some when it comes to continued enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act,” said Fox. “The FCPA has held many foreign companies accountable, and it’s crucial to fighting terrorism. Enforcing that law is right in line with President-elect Trump’s trade policies.”
Fox also contends that major U.S. companies now have compliance fully integrated into their systems and that the FCPA has few reputable critics. In addition, enforcement heavily relies on self-policing, and penalties from violators largely pay for the cost to investigate.
Both the “Trump and Compliance” podcast and e-book will be updated quarterly to include details from ongoing discussions between Fox and colleagues regarding developments in the corporate compliance and FCPA space. A free copy of the e-book is available at http://corporatecomplianceinsights.com/trump-and-compliance/.
The former general counsel of a global oilfield services company, Fox has worked as a lawyer in the world’s energy capital for more than 30 years. He conducts training in FCPA, business leadership, compliance and ethics in the U.S. and across the globe.
Fox is host of the FCPA Compliance & Ethics website, which provides business solutions to compliance and legal challenges.
