Description

The ECCP establishes factors that the DOJ will consider when evaluating the compliance program of a company facing a criminal enforcement action. Companies frequently use the ECCP as a resource to help determine how the DOJ might assess their compliance programs.

In the recent updates to its ECCP, the DOJ has set forth its expectations for companies to adopt advanced compliance monitoring techniques, integrate data analytics in risk assessments, and address the opportunities and challenges presented by these technologies. The updates stress the critical role of data-driven compliance strategies in managing the risks associated with new and emerging technologies like AI and blockchain.

Under the updated ECCP, prosecutors are to consider such factors as whether the company encourages or discourages the reporting of potential misconduct; whether the company has sufficient training and adequate policies regarding whistleblower protection and anti-retaliation; and whether the company devotes sufficient assets, resources, and technology to compliance operations, compliance personnel, and risk management, among others.

Corporate counsel must be aware of the emphasis the DOJ will place on new and emerging technology risks, whistleblower incentives and protections, and compliance teams' access to data and resources going forward.

Listen as our authoritative panel provides a detailed analysis of the concepts contained in the updated ECCP and their implications for corporate compliance programs. The panel will also discuss the increasing role of data-driven compliance in enhancing corporate accountability.
