With tariffs shaking global trade, aggressive sanctions enforcement, and new risks from AI, businesses must rethink their strategies. Can your compliance program keep up, or will it be left scrambling?

In this episode of Corruption, Crime, and Compliance, Michael Volkov unpacks the rapidly shifting risk landscape facing businesses today. From trade compliance and supply chain disruptions to cybersecurity and government enforcement, Mike highlights the top legal and compliance challenges of the year and offers practical guidance on how companies can stay ahead. While the regulatory world is in flux, one thing remains certain—organizations that fail to adapt will face significant financial, legal, and reputational consequences.

You’ll hear him discuss:

• The evolving trade landscape, including tariff enforcement, import risks, and the potential economic fallout of aggressive trade policies
• Why supply chain mapping is no longer optional, with companies needing to identify vulnerabilities, alternative sourcing strategies, and compliance risks to avoid costly disruptions
• How businesses should approach the FCPA enforcement pause, what it signals about the government’s priorities, and why global companies remain committed to anti-corruption programs
• Why compliance teams must elevate import control and export control programs, particularly as the US expands restrictions on advanced computing, AI, and semiconductor exports
• How transnational criminal organizations are infiltrating legitimate supply chains for money laundering, and what companies must do to strengthen their due diligence efforts
• The importance of a strong compliance culture in a time of regulatory uncertainty—how companies can remain flexible, proactive, and aligned with their core values despite the shifting landscape
