Welcome to Compliance Hot Spots, our weekly snapshot on white-collar, regulatory and compliance news and trends. The Jan. 6 committee might be dominating the headlines, but it’s far from the only target of a Democratic Congress that has conducted aggressive investigations of major corporations. Today, we detail the latest oversight trends. Plus, a Munger, Tolles & Olson partner reports nearly $4 million in partner pay and a look at who represented a major Big 4 accounting firm facing a record SEC penalty. A programming note: There will be no newsletter next week as we celebrate the Fourth of July holiday. Hope you all have a great Fourth! Please get in touch with tips and feedback.
