Carlos Villagrán Muñoz on Implementing Effective Compliance Programs in Latin America

Welcome to the award-winning FCPA Compliance Report, the longest-running podcast in compliance. In this episode, Tom Fox welcomes Carlos Villagrán Muñoz, Chief Compliance Officer at CMPC in Chile. We discuss operationalizing compliance at CMPC and in Latin America. Carlos Villagrán Muñoz is a seasoned Chilean attorney with considerable experience in implementing and advancing compliance programs in Latin America. His perspective on the subject is shaped by his extensive experience and understanding of the unique challenges in the region. Carlos identifies two major hurdles in implementing effective compliance programs in Latin America: the need to tailor programs to both global and local contexts due to cultural nuances and differing perceptions of corruption and the pressing issue of money laundering, fueled by illegal activities such as corruption, drug trafficking, and human trafficking. He believes that Latin America lags in anti-money laundering efforts, which are crucial in combating corruption, and advocates for compliance programs that address these issues while considering cultural differences.
