On September 23, Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Nicole M. Argentieri announced that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) updated its guidance on the Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs (ECCP). The DOJ’s ECCP serves as a roadmap for federal prosecutors to use when evaluating the effectiveness of corporate compliance programs. Therefore, companies should also pay close attention to this guidance when reviewing their compliance programs. Ultimately, a company’s efforts to design, regularly evaluate, and update its compliance program in line with this guidance could inform criminal investigations, charging decisions, and case resolutions.
