Compliance Into the Weeds

Compliance into The Weeds: To Monitor or Not to Monitor: What is even The Question?

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 the seeming inconsistency in approaches to monitoring (or lack thereof) in two recent DOJ enforcement actions involving eBay and SAP.

The Department of Justice’s (DOJ) seemingly inconsistent approach to corporate enforcement and compliance monitoring has been a topic of much debate and confusion. Or has it? This inconsistency is particularly evident in the assignment of compliance monitors and CCO certification, as seen in the contrasting cases of eBay and SAP. Does the DOJ have a contradictory approach? What are the criteria for assigning monitors? Are local U.S. Attorneys may be following their own agendas, leading to this inconsistency. Is there a lack of logic and effectiveness in the DOJ’s policies? To delve deeper into this issue, join Tom Fox and Matt Kelly in this episode of Compliance into the Weeds.

Key Highlights:

  • Effectiveness and Consistency of Compliance Monitors
  • Incentivizing self-disclosure and remediation in corporate enforcement
  • Inconsistent assignment of monitors based on misconduct
  • Inconsistent enforcement practices by U.S. Attorneys
