SAI Global Podcast Series Featuring Marjorie Doyle Addresses Effective Management of FCPA & UK Bribery Act Compliance Risks

PLAINSBORO, New Jersey, July 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

Today, SAI Global Compliance released an 8-part podcast series that addresses how GRC professionals can effectively manage bribery and corruption risk.  Although each individual podcast focuses on a particular principle of the UK Bribery Act Guidance, podcast coverage includes FCPA compliance risk management as well as how to effectively manage any compliance risk.

Podcast speakers Marjorie Doyle, JD, CCEP-F, and Jim Slavin, JD, CCEP are experienced in helping to provide clients with successful programs particularly in the global anti-corruption risk area.  Each 4-6 minute podcast focuses on a specific aspect of bribery and corruption risk management: proportionality, top level commitment, risk assessment, program development and management, third party due diligence, communication and training, and auditing and monitoring.  Podcasts are available at http://www.saiglobal.com/compliance/resources/podcasts/bribery-corruption.htm.

Andy Wyszkowski, Global Head of Compliance, commented on the value of the podcast series by commending the podcast speakers and their approach to the risks presented in FCPA and UK Bribery Act by stating "Marjorie and Jim succinctly state the business challenges of GRC professionals worldwide and present tangible ways to address not just the 'what' but the 'how' of managing bribery and corruption risks.  This brings real value to organizations regardless of headquarters location or jurisdiction."

Wyszkowski went on to comment on the scope of SAI Global's holistic approach to bribery and corruption risk management by stating "We are in the enviable position of having global teams dedicated to discussing and providing end-to-end solutions for effective bribery and corruption risk management.  Whether a client engages us to focus on one particular element of their program such as a foundational risk assessment or a gifts and hospitality registry, or commits to an end-to-end holistic solution that automates workflow associated with effective third party management, our mission is to ensure that GRC professionals understand what's required to build and execute an effective compliance risk management business process."  

Marjorie Doyle is Principal of Marjorie Doyle & Associates LLC.  Earlier in her career she had roles as EVP, Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer at Vetco International and Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer at Dupont.  Jim Slavin is Senior Director, Advisory Services, at SAI Global.
