About the Course

Introduction

This CLE webinar will guide corporate counsel through the U.S. Department of Justice's (DOJ) Corporate Whistleblower Awards Pilot Program and AI-related corporate compliance initiatives. The panel will discuss the impact of these programs and initiatives on internal compliance and reporting structures and describe what counsel and their clients should be doing now.

Description

The DOJ's Corporate Whistleblower Awards Pilot Program incentivizes reporting corporate misconduct and financial crimes to the DOJ. The DOJ also has incorporated AI-related considerations into its corporate compliance guidance. These initiatives have important implications for corporate compliance programs.

Under the pilot program, individuals who help the DOJ uncover significant corporate misconduct or criminal activity through original information, including information that materially adds to information already known to the DOJ, could receive a portion of the resulting forfeiture of criminal proceeds.

The DOJ has incorporated AI and emerging-technology risks into its Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs. In evaluating corporate compliance programs, the DOJ will also consider whether a corporation has made efforts to mitigate risks related to the use of AI.

Listen as our expert panel guides corporate counsel through the DOJ's Corporate Whistleblower Awards Pilot Program and AI-related corporate compliance initiatives. The panel will discuss key focus areas and parameters of the program so that counsel can advise clients on how best to strengthen their corporate compliance programs in response.
