Activision Blizzard Settlement with SEC

The award winning, Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast which takes a deep dive into a compliance related topic, literally going into the weeds to more fully explore a subject. In this episode, Matt and I take a deep dive into the recent Activision Blizzard settlement with the SEC for the company’s failings around internal controls regarding the detection and prevention of sexual harassment and its whistleblower protection laws.  Some of the highlights include:

·      The background facts.

·      The toxic culture which led to the claims.

·      The denials by company officers that anything was wrong or to the validity of the claims. 

·      How does this ruling tie into the Delaware court decision on the duty of oversight?

·      Must there be a material risk for the creation of an information system?

·      What about CCO certification?

·      What does it all mean for CCOs going forward?
