Please join us for our first webinar in 2017:

U.S. Government Expectations For Compliance Programs Through the Eyes of the Justice Department’s Compliance Counsel

It’s been over a year since the Compliance Counsel assumed her role at the Fraud Section of DOJ’s Criminal Division and earlier this year the Fraud Section released additional guidance on how it evaluates compliance programs.  The U.S. Sentencing Guidelines allow companies to receive a credit for having a pre-existing compliance program in place even if it failed to prevent misconduct.  Even in the absence of a pre-existing compliance program, FCPA settlements show that effective compliance remediation can significantly impact the resolution of an FCPA investigation.

How has the Compliance Counsel impacted this analysis for the DOJ?  How has the review of corporate compliance programs changed as a result of the Compliance Counsel’s involvement?  Should compliance professionals change the way they view and implement their compliance programs?  What should companies do to be in the best position should they have to disclose or defend against potential corruption-related conduct with the DOJ?

Event Details

Our complimentary webinar series is aimed at in-house legal counsel and compliance managers, ranging from those who are new to the areas concerned, through to experienced practitioners who want to refresh their knowledge and learn more about litigation risks and best practices.

A registration reminder with log-in and dial-in details will be sent to you one week and one hour prior to the start of the webinar.
