Topics and Speakers

Complying with Data Privacy in a Post-GDPR and CCPA World

David Zetoony, Partner, Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner

The European General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") and the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA") have propelled privacy forward as one of the top risks impacting most private companies. While companies struggle to comply with those statutes, they also must be cognizant that the rapidly evolving world of data privacy is likely to bring additional statutes, regulations, and interpretations. The program will discuss the core policies, procedures, and documents that companies should consider when complying with existing privacy laws and attempting to 'future proof' against the next big privacy law.

Workplace Relations in the #MeToo Era

Tiffany Todd, Counsel – Global Employment, Benefits and Labor Law Group, Western Union

In the aftermath of the #MeToo movement, organizations now face a host of new expectations from stakeholders at every level, including employees, corporate boards, shareholders, and the public. This presentation will address the evolving obligations and expectations that have arisen as a result of the #MeToo movement and what organizations can do to adapt and thrive in this post-#MeToo values-focused era.

Risk Assessments

Asha Palmer, Global Compliance Consulting LLC

Despite risk assessments being the foundation of knowing and understanding your risk, most compliance programs do not have one and, if they do, it is overly burdensome and difficult to tie into an overall risk management structure. This brief course will help you understand various ways to take a practical approach to risk assessments that can strengthen your compliance program and not make you sick about it.

What’s the “Ethics” in "Ethics and Compliance"?

Tim Mazur, Integrity and Compliance Investigator, Indivior

In the 1970s and '80s, compliance had become such a failure that professionals from both the legal and business ethics communities designed "Compliance 2.0," otherwise known as "ethics and compliance" (E&C). Today, every legitimate "compliance" program in the United States, and many across the world, honor the new E&C standards. From day one, the "ethics" in ethics and compliance was meant to be a true integration of business ethics into compliance programs— not simply a marketing word to distinguish the new standards from their awful past. This session will discuss exactly what is meant and intended by the words "ethics" and "integrity" in today's best compliance programs.
