Former DOJ FCPA Chief Supports FCPA Compliance Defense

By Securities Docket on October 4, 2011, 12:10 pm

“…Providing an adequate compliance program defense to FCPA liability would be manifestly reasonable.  Companies that seek only to be good corporate citizens would have an opportunity to demonstrate not only to DOJ, but also to a federal district court, that they had in fact done everything reasonably required, and that despite that fact an errant employee avoided company policy and violated the law.  Affording this type of defense to corporate liability would recognize and reward strong compliance programs; provide a powerful incentive for companies to develop and enforce such programs; may encourage more companies to come forward with voluntary disclosures; and yet still enable prosecution of the culpable individuals.   It is time to stop punishing our good corporate citizens and start going after the guilty-both corrupt corporate employees and  corrupt foreign officials. ”
