About this episode
This episode discusses the growing importance and responsibilities of the compliance function within organizations.
Welcome to 31 Days to a More Effective Compliance Program. Over this 31-day series in January 2026, Tom Fox will post a key component of a best-practice compliance program each day. By the end of January, you will have enough information to create, design, or enhance a compliance program. Each podcast will be short, at 6-8 minutes, with three key takeaways that you can implement at little or no cost to help update your compliance program. I hope you will join each day in January for this exploration of best practices in compliance. In today’s Day 27 episode, we explore the growing importance and responsibilities of the compliance function within corporations, emphasizing the need for adequate staffing, resources, and independence.
