Comunicaciones Celulares (better known as Comcel), the company behind TIGO Guatemala, has wrapped up a Foreign Corrupt Practices Act investigation that has managed to outlast joint-venture partners, ownership structures, and even an earlier DOJ case closure. The company’s newly finalized deferred prosecution agreement brings more than $118 million in fines and forfeiture, and a close to a decade-long saga that proves, once again, that FCPA matters rarely fade quietly into the night just because companies hope they will.

In a recent article, Norman Marks asks a pointed question that’s becoming increasingly urgent across boardrooms, risk teams, and C-suites alike—are organizations truly leveraging the potential of AI, or are they still circling the runway while competitors take off? Drawing on new insights from Google AI and McKinsey’s latest 2025 survey, Marks explores whether companies are moving fast enough, cautiously enough, or strategically enough to turn AI from hype into real enterprise value, and what it means for practitioners who risk being left behind.

Third-party risk teams have spent the last few years preparing for a world where ESG reporting would continually grow in scope, depth, and regulatory expectation. Companies were told to map emissions throughout their supply chains, understand human-rights risks in their upstream tiers, and gather detailed data from suppliers that had never before been part of formal reporting channels. For better or worse, the direction felt clear.

Political events beyond a company’s control—such as sudden regime changes, civil unrest, or expropriation—can pose serious financial threats, impacting revenues, assets, operations, and contractual obligations. Political risk insurance exists to shield businesses from exactly these uncertainties. By transferring the potential economic fallout to an insurer, companies safeguard themselves against the full brunt of a crisis, preserving financial stability even when unforeseeable disruptions occur.
