Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast. How can we reimagine risk management? In this episode, Hemma Lomax visits Sabrina Segal, a seasoned third-sector integrity risk and compliance advisor with a legal background. Sabrina is currently in Rwanda as part of an international development and humanitarian assistance team. She hosts Tolerable Risk, a podcast about integrity and compliance in the third sector. Sabrina shares her perspective on compliance and risk management in the third sector, which is inherently high-risk, largely due to its operation in areas where the private sector may not see value and where government regulation has failed. Sabrina believes that traditional approaches to risk management, which are quantitative-heavy and designed for industries like finance and oil and gas, are unsuitable for the third sector, requiring a more accessible qualitative approach for diverse stakeholders. Drawing from an array of global experiences, Sabrina emphasizes the need for bespoke approaches tailored to the specific needs and constraints of small and medium-sized charities and nonprofits. Sabrina has developed an objective-centered risk management approach for the third sector based on work from her mentor, Timothy Leech. Objective-centered risk management focuses on facilitating the achievement of organizational objectives, collaborating to identify threats and opportunities, and directly influencing decision-making. Sabrina’s compliance and risk management work is designed to improve organizations' overall programming and impact in the third sector. Still, it has many applications in the private sector and corporate compliance.

Audrey Harris, this week’s guest, shared a quote with us that is very meaningful to her. It is from Theodore Roosevelt, about “The Man in the Arena. Since this is #GWIC, we have expanded this to the women in the arena. That is the woman who is actually in the arena, not the critic or the person who waits to offer suggestions or say what can be done better after the hard calls are made and who strives to do the work and…spends herself on a worthy cause; who at the best knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if she fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that her place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither knows victory nor defeat.” Audrey Harris is the woman in the arena. She is Managing Director, of Global Anticorruption, Compliance, Ethics & Non–Financial Risk at Affiliated Monitors, Inc., was formerly at two world-class law firms, and has also been a Chief Compliance Officer. She has made hard decisions in real-time and now helps organizations do the same. In this episode, Lisa and Audrey talk more about what the woman in the arena does and why Ethics and Compliance Officers are truly the people in the arena. Audrey will also provide insight on the most recent US Department of Justice statement, whether it really is the “Monaco Memo 3.0,” and her views about what is significant in the memo and the guidance it provides.  The arena for GWIC next week is US Thanksgiving, so we are off but will see you with a great episode on November 29.
