During a keynote address delivered Thursday at the American Bar Association’s 36th National Institute on White Collar Crime, Deputy Attorney General Lisa O. Monaco announced certain significant changes to current Department of Justice policies on the prosecution of corporate crime. Deputy AG Monaco noted at the outset that “[w]hile the priority remains individual accountability,” the Department “will not hesitate to hold companies accountable.” The policy changes significantly affect three key areas of corporate enforcement: (i) the conditions that a company must satisfy in order to obtain cooperation credit; (ii) the definition of recidivism in the corporate context and its application to the form of corporate criminal resolutions; and (iii) the scope and use of corporate monitors. Deputy AG Monaco also emphasized the importance of corporate compliance programs and remediation and echoed recent comments made by Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General John Carlin about the consequences of breaching corporate criminal resolutions.
