Join Strategic Management and SAI Global for our latest webinar on the updated DOJ guidance.
In June, the Department of Justice updated its “Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs.” The DOJ’s guidance is designed to assist prosecutors in evaluating whether an organization’s established compliance program was “effective at the time of the offense” and “at the time of a charging decision or resolution.” Such evaluation is used to determine the appropriate form of resolution or prosecution, monetary penalty and compliance obligations under a corporate criminal resolution. However, even organizations not under DOJ investigation can find value in this guidance document.
The DOJ has made notable changes to their original 2017 guidance. The updated guidance emphasizes that organization move beyond the “paper” structure of a compliance program to assess the program’s effectiveness. To do this, the DOJ has refocused criteria to address whether the compliance program is well designed, is applied earnestly and in good faith and works in practice.
