Polite Speech-A Jolt for Compliance

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. In this episode, we look at Assistant Attorney General Kenneth A. Polite’s recent speech at the University of Texas Law School. The speech focused on corporate and individual accountability in FCPA enforcement actions. Highlights and questions posed include:

·      What are clawbacks, and how would they work in practice?

·      Does a lack of corporate clawbacks lead to aggravating factors?

·      How much credit will a company receive by instituting clawbacks?

·      CCO certifications are here to stay.

·      How does the Polite Speech relate to the Monaco Memo?
