DOJ's New Standards for Clawbacks, Ephemeral Messaging, and Cooperation Credit (Sept 19, 2023)

DOJ's New Standards for Clawbacks, Ephemeral Messaging, and Cooperation Credit (Sept 19, 2023) a.ouko@acc.com
On-Demand

DOJ has come out with new guidance this year on a number of topics. For the past 6 months, companies have been grappling with how to implement the standards in practice. This panel will discuss different strategies to address these issues and our DOJ panelist will give her perspective from the government side. Topics to be addressed include:


  • Clawbacks: What strategies and policy changes can companies use to claw back compensation from employees who have engaged in compliance misconduct and how have those worked out in practice?
  • Ephemeral Messaging: How have companies addressed the fact that in certain regions WeChat and WhatsApp are frequently used to conduct business, which may impede the access to and preservation of ephemeral messages?
  • Cooperation Credit: How have these and other issues played into cooperation credit and how have companies balanced the need to know what is going on with DOJ's desire to get self-reports more quickly.
