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. This week, Matt and Tom conclude a special two-part podcast series of several topics they will be following in 2022. Today in our concluding Part 2, we consider:

· The time of reckoning is coming for SPACs funded in 2021 as their 18 month-deadline is fast approaching. Is the SEC looking at SPACs as an alternative form of IPO? What will the regulatory landscape look like going forward?

· CCO pay. Will it go up after several years of remaining flat? How did the Great Resignation impact compliance, if at all? What skills sets might a CCO need into 2025 and beyond?

· The SEC investigation into Facebook. Are a company’s public statements about having an ethical culture mere puffery or are they actionable for failing to live up to their public statements. Also, what does the Francis Haugen testimony mean for whistleblowers going forward.

· The SEC investigation into Activision’s toxic workplace and culture of misogyny. Are these new areas the SEC will be looking at in addition to its traditional role of financial reporting watchdog.
