About this listen

 The award-winning Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast that takes a deep dive into a compliance-related topic, literally going into the weeds to explore a subject more fully. Are you looking for some hard-hitting insights on compliance? Look no further than Compliance into the Weeds! In this episode of Compliance into the Weeds, Tom Fox and Matt Kelly take a deep dive into the settlement of charges by the OCC with two former top audit executives at Wells Fargo for their oversight failures during the bank’s fake accounts scandal. The Wells Fargo banking scandal is a cautionary tale of unchecked corporate misconduct and the critical role of auditor accountability. This scandal, which erupted due to Wells Fargo’s creation of fake accounts driven by unrealistic sales targets, exposed the bank’s dysfunctional corporate culture and raised questions about the efficacy of internal audits and the broader implications of regulatory actions. They discuss the scandal as emblematic of the broader issues stemming from repealing the Glass-Steagall Act, which blurs the lines between investment and consumer banking, fostering an environment where misconduct could thrive. Kelly points to the enormity of banks’ post-Glass-Steagall repeal as a breeding ground for potential misconduct and highlights the negligence of Wells Fargo’s leadership in failing to curb unethical practices. Both Fox and Kelly underscore the necessity for a comprehensive reevaluation of compliance and audit roles to prevent future scandals of this magnitude.
