In this new season of Adventures in Compliance, host Tom Fox takes a deep dive into the Sherlock Holmes novels. Over this season, I will take a deep dive into each novel over a four-part series. The four novels we will consider from the ethics and compliance perspective are A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of Four, The Hound of the Baskervilles, and The Valley of Fear. For the month of August, we conclude this season with a deep dive into the least well-known of the Sherlock Holmes novels, The Valley of Fear. In this episode, Timothy and Fiona explore unconventional wisdom for modern corporate compliance by examining Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic detective novel, The Valley of Fear. They discuss how Sherlock Holmes’ investigative strategies, like proactive scenario analysis, understanding complex interconnections, and creating robust internal controls, can enhance compliance practices. The episode emphasizes the importance of continuous monitoring, protecting whistleblowers, upholding ethical leadership, and embracing a culture of continuous improvement, drawing parallels between Holmes’ methods and practical compliance management.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
