In October, Deputy Attorney General (DAG) Lisa O. Monaco gave a Keynote Address at ABA’s 36th National Institute on White Collar Crime (Monaco Speech). Monaco’s remarks should be studied by every compliance professional as they portend a very large change in the way the DOJ will utilize monitors going forward. Over this podcast series, sponsored by AMI we will consider why DAG Monaco’s remarks herald a new era for monitorships.
Over this podcast series we will consider Monaco’s remarks from a variety of perspectives. Mikhail Reider Gordon will look at global aspects of the new DOJ monitor’s focus. Cristina Revelo discusses how E&C assessments help drive more compliant companies. Jesse Caplan will bring his views on the intersection of the twin topics of antitrust and healthcare compliance. Vin DiCianni looks at where monitors and monitorships are going in 2022 and beyond. In this Episode 1, Bethany Hengsbach considers this change in monitorships from the white-collar enforcement and defense perspective.
Highlights of this podcast include:
- DOJ mandates a commitment to monitors in a non-punitive manner.
- The DOJ now views monitors and monitorships as a way to extend their reach.
- The DOJ hopes this new program will proactively use compliance programs to prevent future corrupt activity and prevent recidivism.
