The award-winning Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast that takes a deep dive into a compliance-related topic, literally going into the weeds to more fully explore a subject. Looking for some hard-hitting insights on compliance? Look no further than Compliance into the Weeds! In this episode, Tom and Matt take a deep dive into a recent speech by Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco on the DOJ’s creation of a whistleblower program and compliance oversight of AI.
The Department of Justice Whistleblower Awards Program is a recent development that has prompted considerable discussion due to its possible implications and the potential range of awards. The program, which is designed to protect whistleblowers, raises a number of complex issues, particularly for compliance officers. According to Tom, the program is aligned with those from other regulatory bodies, like the SEC, and is not necessarily groundbreaking. He points out potential limitations in the range of awards and questions the efficiency of the review process.
Matt views the program as a significant, yet familiar, development for compliance officers. He highlights that the program seems to follow an existing trend, rather than pioneering a new approach and points out the need for further clarification on the eligibility criteria and the procedure for issuing awards. Both Fox and Kelly, from their extensive experience in the field, emphasize the program’s potential benefits for whistleblowers seeking protection but concur that there are still many details to be clarified.
