Law Enforcement Policies of the U.S. Department of Justice

In the fourth episode of our English series our guest on the
podcast is Scott Hulsey. After a brief introduction of himself he
speaks with Dr Rosinus about the policies of the U.S. Department of
Justice (DOJ), in particular about the updated Corporate
Enforcement Policy. Mr Hulsey first explains the scope of
activities of the DOJ as a federal governmental authority.
Afterwards he and Dr Rosinus speak about DOJ Policies in general
and Dr Rosinus draws a comparison to German prosecuting guidelines.
Further, they talk about the new guidelines that the DOJ
transmitted to the prosecutors. Mr Hulsey gives an overview of the
main updates in the Corporate Enforcement Policy, in particular the
new provision on tying compensation to compliance conduct, the
disclosure provisions, and the introduction of a precise system for
disclosing the consequences of breaches of the policy. Mr Hulsey
highlights the impacts of the policy to corporate compliance
systems, not only for American but also for global companies.
Eventually, Mr Hulsey outlines the consequences for M&A
transactions. You can find the DOJ Corporate Enforcement Policy
