This week, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) announced an update to its 2017 guidance
on how the DOJ will evaluate the effectiveness of a company's
corporate compliance program. The updated compliance guideline
(Updated Guidance) is twice the length of the original and utilizes
a more instructive approach, serving as a roadmap to prosecutors,
and prudent companies.
Our colleagues Colin Jennings,
Ayako Hobbs, and Elizabeth Weil Shaw have prepared a summary
and analysis of the DOJ’s 18-page Updated Guidance, focusing
on the important lessons a company can learn about the key elements
necessary for a robust and effective compliance program. You can
read and download their summary and analysis here.

guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
