The Past, Present, & Future of Monitoring with Rod Rosenstein, Part 2

The Past, Present, & Future of Monitoring with Rod Rosenstein

Affiliated Monitors Managing Director Don Stern hosts an engaging conversation with the Former Deputy Attorney General, King & Spalding’s Rod Rosenstein, and Affiliated Monitors Managing Director Eric Feldman as they conclude a two-part podcast on “The Past, Present, & Future of Compliance and Independent Monitoring.”

In part two, the trio shifts their focus to independent monitoring. People have some misconceptions about monitoring. Most companies don’t particularly welcome having a monitor. They view it as intrusive. They view it as — in some cases — unnecessary.

Historically, prosecutors (including the Department of Justice) are not necessarily focused on what happens after there’s a conviction. You get the result; you move on to the next investigation. What happens to the company? Does it really get the message, and has it made changes? Have prosecutors become more focused on what happens after the conviction, and if so, why?

The first question is: how do you determine whether there’s a need for a monitor? And that really focuses on the issue that has been identified, which is that the purpose shouldn’t be punitive. The monitor is not intended to be a form of punishment. It’s supposed to be prospective.

Then second question is: what is the scope of responsibilities of the monitor? A company may have made a mistake in one area. Do we give them monitor authority over that area alone, or do we broaden the authority of the monitor?

The Past, Present, & Future of Compliance with Rod Rosenstein, Part 1

The Past, Present, & Future of Compliance with Rod Rosenstein

Affiliated Monitors Managing Director Don Stern hosts an engaging conversation with the Former Deputy Attorney General, King & Spalding’s Rod Rosenstein, and Affiliated Monitors Managing Director Eric Feldman as they commence a two-part podcast on “The Past, Present and Future of Compliance and Independent Monitoring.”

In part one, the trio looks at compliance, with a particular focus on the DOJ guidance as it has been articulated over the past two years. The panel discusses where compliance is now, where it is headed, and what companies might do to prepare for the closer look that they might receive from increased DOJ scrutiny under the current administration. In two weeks, the panel will return for part two, where they will shift their attention to monitoring. As is our “Integrity Through Compliance” tradition, Rod and Eric will share their key takeaways on

compliance:

Rod

1. Investing in compliance brings a positive return on investment

2. Compliance is about culture and not just the written rules

3. Compliance policies need to be reviewed on a regular basis

Eric

1. Compliance programs should be based on actual risks of your company

2. Take a strong look at how and whether the company is incentivizing the right kind of behavior.
