Host Gregg N. Sofer welcomes Husch Blackwell's Christopher Budke and Rick Shimon to the podcast to discuss when, why, and how corporate legal departments should turn to external investigators to execute internal investigations.Not all corporate crises or government inquiries require the expense associated with bringing on external investigators; however, as Gregg, Chris, and Rick note, incomplete or ineffective internal investigations can generate significant legal liability that escalate over time. The podcast discussion provides practical tips to business and legal department leaders as to how to assess various government requests or demands for information, including the initial scope of the request, the importance of maintaining open channels of communication with the government, and the value of knowing with a high degree of confidence what precisely is being produced pursuant to an investigative request.Gregg N. Sofer BiographyFull BiographyGregg counsels businesses and individuals in connection with a range of criminal, civil and regulatory matters, including government investigations, internal investigations, litigation, export control, sanctions, and regulatory compliance. Prior to entering private practice, Gregg served as the United States Attorney for the Western District of Texas—one of the largest and busiest United States Attorney's Offices in the country—where he supervised more than 300 employees handling a diverse caseload, including matters involving complex white-collar crime, government contract fraud, national security, cyber-crimes, public corruption, money laundering, export violations, trade secrets, tax, large-scale drug and human trafficking, immigration, child exploitation and violent crime.Christopher Budke BiographyFull BiographyA 30-year veteran of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Chris uses his deep understanding of investigations to assist Husch Blackwell attorneys on a wide range of client representations. His broad base of experience includes complicated multinational, national, and regional criminal investigations with an emphasis in white-collar and financial crime, public corruption, health care fraud, organized crime, money laundering, criminal enterprise investigations and civil rights. Chris is a licensed Certified Fraud Examiner and has passed all parts of the Certified Public Accounting (CPA) examination.Rick Shimon BiographyFull BiographyWith over two decades as a federal agent, Rick has investigated countless criminal, civil and regulatory matters, including violations of export controls, sanctions and regulatory compliance, and has regularly counseled business leaders nationwide concerning U.S. export regulations and internal compliance programs. During his 22 years as a criminal investigator with the U.S. Department of Commerce, Office of Export Enforcement (OEE), Rick led or supervised dozens of national security-focused investigations involving aircraft, electronics, satellites and other commodities controlled by the Export Control Reform Act of 2018 and International Emergency Economic Powers Act. As a recognized subject matter expert, Rick was regularly asked to conduct training across the nation for agents, lawyers and compliance professionals regarding the complex regulations that govern the export of U.S. goods and technology, as well as the necessary elements of an effective compliance program.

How can companies effectively remediate after uncovering misconduct? In this episode of All Things Investigations, Tom Fox discusses with Mike DeBernardis the lessons learned from the recent Albemarle FCPA enforcement action and settlement. They analyze the company's self-disclosure timeline, the credit received for holdbacks, and the overall cooperation and remediation efforts that led to a favorable NPA. Mike DeBernardis is a partner in Hughes Hubbard's Washington office and a member of the firm's Anti-Corruption and Internal Investigations and White Collar & Regulatory Defense practice groups. He assists clients with internal investigations relating to high-stakes matters, including corruption under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, procurement fraud, financial and accounting fraud, money laundering, and other ethics issues and violations of company policy.  You'll hear Tom and Mike discuss: The DOJ deemed Albemarle's self-disclosure untimely, even though it was voluntary and unknown to the government. The 16-month delay from learning of allegations to disclosing crossed the line per updated standards. Companies should carefully evaluate timing when self-disclosing misconduct if they want to maximize credit. Even voluntary disclosures can be considered untimely under an evolving reasonableness standard. Albemarle discovered allegations in Vietnam in 2016, confirmed misconduct in early 2017, and then disclosed in January 2018 when FCPA Corporate Enforcement Policy permanence was still uncertain.  $780,000 in total bonuses were held back from employees directly involved, those with supervisory responsibility, and other relevant staff. Albemarle received a full 1:1 penalty offset. Contractual ability to withhold bonus payments is easier to execute than clawbacks of compensation already disbursed, especially across regions. Settlement dynamics were shifting during Albemarle's decision timeline, but current standards still applied for judging timeliness. Pandemic delays also won't change future judgments.   The egregiousness and duration of Albemarle's schemes across multiple countries involving high-level executives would typically warrant a DPA or plea deal. Their cooperation and remediation directly led to the NPA result. Albemarle thoroughly investigated, cooperated, remediated, and self-disclosed even though the misconduct was not yet government-known. This approach clearly benefited them.   Implementing data analytics was called out in the settlement documents specifically. Even basic initial steps were still recognized and rewarded by the DOJ.

David Rybicki and Neil Smith of the law firm K&L Gates discuss the new Department of Justice Safe Harbor Policy for voluntary self-disclosure made in connection with M&A. The discussion covers several different focus points, including concerns that need to be top of mind for acquirers, key industries to watch, and the growing importance of deeper due diligence, both pre and post deal. You can find links to David and Neils' contact information here (David) and here (Neil) as well as the US Policy and Regulatory Alert on the Safe Harbor Policy that the firm published on their website. David Rybicki and Neil Smith is co-lead K&L Gates' White Collar Defense and Investigations practice Group that focuses on government investigations, securities enforcement, internal investigations, and white collar defense representations. 

In this episode of All Things Investigations, host Tom Fox and Kevin Carroll discuss the alarming revelation that former President Trump allegedly shared sensitive information about nuclear submarines with an Australian civilian, as well as a peculiar court hearing involving a limited gag order on Trump. They explore the gravity of the information shared, its implications on national security, and the potential legal repercussions.  Kevin is a partner in the Washington, D.C., and New York offices of Hughes Hubbard & Reed in the White Collar & Regulatory Defense and Anti-Corruption & Internal Investigations practice groups. He also helps counsel businesses on CFIUS/FIRRMA, cyber security and data privacy, EAR/ITAR, FARA, FCPA, FISA, FMS, NISPOM, and OFAC compliance. You'll hear Tom and Kevin discuss: President Trump allegedly discussed secrets about nuclear submarines with an Australian civilian, Anthony Pratt. Kevin emphasizes the seriousness of this revelation, highlighting the crucial role submarines play in national security, including preserving Taiwan's independence and intelligence collection. Strategic missile submarines (boomers) are the ultimate nuclear guarantee, capable of retaliatory strikes against adversaries, and their secrecy is paramount. Kevin is surprised that additional charges were not laid against Trump for willfully communicating classified information to an uncleared foreign national. The disclosure of classified information poses a risk to national security, as adversaries may adapt their tactics and enhance technology based on shared information.  There is no remedy once sensitive information is released; the damage caused may be irreversible. The intelligence relationship between the United States and Australia is one of the closest, with both countries part of the Five Eyes alliance. A limited gag order was imposed on President Trump after an unusual hearing related to a motion brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith. Kevin criticizes the defense lawyers' aggressive approach and disrespectful behavior toward the federal judge during the hearing. The judge's decision to impose a limited gag order is a necessary step to prevent potential harm to individuals targeted by Trump's remarks. The broader societal implications of such unchecked criticisms from a public figure like Trump, with a significant following, are emphasized. Judges may consider escalating fines as a deterrent to gain Trump's attention and prevent further damage and incitement of violence. Trump's potential strategy may be to use incarceration as a political narrative, portraying himself as a victim. Kevin believes fines would be a more effective deterrent and expresses hope that financial penalties would capture Trump's attention. Repeated violations of the gag order is a strategy Trump may use to attempt to poison the jury pool. Such efforts might have more impact in Florida and Georgia. Venue selection in high-profile cases is crucial to ensure a fair trial. Lawyers have the responsibility to weed out jurors with preconceived notions, regardless of the case's profile. However, in some cases, it's impossible to find a jury unaffected by public awareness. Resources Hughes Hubbard & Reed website Kevin Carroll on LinkedIn

In this episode of All Things Investigations, host Tom Fox delves deep into the significant enforcement action by the SEC against 3M in China with guest Mike DeBernardis. The action revolves around the provision of covert trips to Chinese government officials by 3M to secure business deals. These concealed itineraries raised eyebrows due to tell-tale signs like simultaneous scheduling of tourist activities with educational events and an absence of proper translation services. Mike DeBernardis is a partner in Hughes Hubbard's Washington office and a member of the firm's Anti-Corruption and Internal Investigations and White Collar & Regulatory Defense practice groups. He assists clients with internal investigations relating to high-stakes matters including corruption under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, procurement fraud, financial and accounting fraud, money laundering, and other ethics issues and violations of company policy.  You'll hear Tom and Mike discuss: The SEC has recently released two pertinent documents, one of which revolves around the covert operations of 3M China. 3M China had set up a clandestine system to mask their dealings, notably by offering Chinese officials fabricated travel itineraries. These itineraries emphasized tourist activities over the actual educational events. Platforms like WeChat, categorized as ephemeral messaging, are prevalent in China's business landscape. However, their misuse can project a deficiency in compliance culture. While these platforms are efficient, they can blur the lines of official and casual communication. Compliance professionals are at the frontline of ensuring business legitimacy. They should actively verify the genuineness of business-related activities. Tools such as sign-up sheets and photographs can be instrumental in documenting attendance. The penalty levied on 3M was considerable. The rigorousness of the action was evident as detailed spreadsheets calculated the return on investment of bribes. 3M's own employees in China assisted in this calculation, simplifying the process for regulators.  An interesting aspect discussed was the opinion release regarding travel costs for foreign officials visiting adopted children's families. It brings to light the nuances of these expenses and how they can be misconstrued. Companies need to ensure they don't pay for personal expenses in these situations. The opinion release procedure stands as a beacon for companies seeking clarity, offering companies an avenue to gain insights from the DOJ. Such procedures guide businesses when treading on uncertain compliance grounds.  KEY QUOTES “I think looking at this from one lens, you could say, here are the things that maybe the compliance professionals could have done to really look at this more diligently with a closer lens.” - Mike DeBernardis “We often advise clients, when they're approving donations and sponsorships from a compliance perspective, [to get] some sort of documentation to prove that the donation [they] have approved was actually given in the manner [they] thought it was going to be.” - Mike DeBernardis “I think trade companies in particular should be looking at ephemeral messaging policies, what they have in place, and how to manage this issue. This issue is extremely difficult because in certain parts of the world, ephemeral messaging, however you want to define that, is used as the main way to do business, right? So there is a business justification, a legitimate business justification for using it.” - Mike DeBernardis Resources Hughes Hubbard & Reed website  Mike DeBernardis on LinkedIn

Das Hinweisgeberschutzgesetz ist am 2. Juli 2023 in Kraft getreten, welches Unternehmen die Pflicht zur Errichtung einer internen Meldestelle auferlegt. In unserem nächsten #Employmenttalk möchten wir die ersten Erfahrungen mit der Umsetzung mit Ihnen teilen und beleuchten, welche rechtlichen und organisatorischen Herausforderungen es für Unternehmen, die bereits ein internes Meldesystem betreiben oder noch einführen müssen, zu meistern gilt. Unter anderem werden folgende Fragen beantwortet: Wie muss die interne Meldestelle mit Hinweisen umgehen? Wie laufen die auf eine Meldung möglicherweise folgenden Internal Investigations ab? Was ist datenschutzrechtlich bei Betrieb der Meldestelle zu beachten? Können bestehende zentrale Meldestellen in Konzernen weiterhin genutzt werden? Welche Anreize können geschaffen werden, damit Hinweisgeber sich zunächst an die interne Meldestelle wenden? Wie ist der Betriebsrat zu beteiligen?

And Another Thing With Dave, by Dave Smith #AATWD In this episode, part 4 in an 8 part series with Courtney, Lets Just Think, Uncle Leo, and RJ Strange, from the Stereo app. Summary: The text highlights the author's opinion on issues related to internal investigations within the police force. They argue against internal investigations, believing it leads to biased outcomes. They propose a minimum penalty for police officers who break the law, suggesting that they should face harsher punishments compared to ordinary citizens. The author also advocates for trial by peers and criticizes the manipulation of trial locations for biased sentencing. Facts: Internal investigations by the police are criticized as unfair, as it allows the police to investigate themselves. The author believes this practice is akin to putting "the fox in charge of the hen house." The "thin blue line" concept is mentioned, where police officers are hesitant to report misconduct within their own ranks. The author proposes a minimum penalty for police officers who break the law, arguing that they should face additional punishment due to their role. They use examples such as murder and drug smuggling to support their argument for differential penalties. The author suggests that trials for police officers should be conducted by peers, similar to trials for ordinary citizens. The relocation of the trial in the Rodney King case to a white community is cited as an example of biased sentencing. #InternalInvestigations #PoliceAccountability #DifferentialPenalties #TrialByPeers #BiasedSentencing #policebrutality Thank you for tuning in!

Welcome to EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource.I'm Cynthia Rowland, and today I'm going to discuss some breaking news in the California nonprofit legal environment,  the California Supreme Court case, Turner vs Victoria. The decision was issued on August 3, 2023, and is an important California case on the rights of a nonprofit public benefit corporation director to bring a lawsuit against fellow directors for breaches of several California Corporations Code sections. Those include 5142, 5233, and 5223 of the California Corporations Code, which cover actions to remedy breach of charitable trust, recover damages for self-dealing transactions, or remove from office any other director guilty of a malfeasance. So listen in as we talk about the California Supreme Court's decision in this very important case. Resources: Turner v.

In this episode of All Things Investigations, host Tom Fox discusses the legal intricacies surrounding the Donald Trump indictments with legal experts Kenyen Brown and Kevin Carroll. Tearing apart the indictment against the former President, the conversation illuminates the reality of a country grappling with the unprecedented indictment of its former Commander-in-Chief. They dive deep into the evidence, the potential repercussions, and the broader implications for the legal profession and democracy itself. Kevin Carroll and Kenyen Brown are partners at Hughes Hubbard & Reed. Kevin is a partner in the Washington, D.C. and New York offices of Hughes Hubbard & Reed in the White Collar & Regulatory Defense and Anti-Corruption & Internal Investigations practice groups. Former U.S. Attorney Kenyen Brown is a partner in the Washington, D.C. office of Hughes Hubbard & Reed in the White Collar & Regulatory Defense and Anti-Corruption & Internal Investigations practices. You'll hear Tom, Kenyen and Kevin discuss: The indictment against Donald Trump centers around "prolific lies" used to defraud the United States citizens and election officials, aiming to overturn the 2020 election results. This has legal implications far beyond insurrection. The evidence collected against Trump is expansive, including public statements, internal campaign emails, attorney-client privilege documents, voicemails, and audio recordings. There's potential for more evidence that can prove the charges brought against Trump, as the indictment itself was written in plain English, suggesting transparency and inclusivity for all concerned citizens. The indictments were carefully formulated to avoid charges of sedition or insurrection, focusing instead on a set of charges that come with very serious sentences. Some of the unindicted conspirators may potentially flip on Trump and provide crucial testimony against the former president. However, the roles of distinguished members of the legal profession in the alleged coup d'etat raise concerns about ethics training and professional discipline at the bar. The likely trial date for this case is expected to be around six to ten months in the future, depending on the course of pretrial motion practice and the scope of the issues being relitigated. The upcoming trial could potentially be the most important in American history, hence all counsel should be given adequate time to prepare. Kevin explains that the oath to the Constitution, not to the Commander-in-Chief, holds deep importance for him and his peers. This oath suggests that the co-equal branches of the government, including the federal judiciary and Congress, deserve equal loyalty. The troubling presence of veterans and a small number of active-duty personnel at the January 6 riot, was deeply disappointing to Kevin.  Kenyen says, as a prosecutor, it is a great honor to represent the United States of America. He emphasizes the weight of the responsibility and the seriousness with which he took his duties of candor and good stewardship of information. The fact that the National Guard was not deployed to aid the Capitol police during the riot, given that only the president can order their deployment in the District of Columbia, suggests that this decision was part of an attempt to pressure Congress and Vice President Mike Pence. President Trump may find it difficult to convince the public of the legitimacy of his actions. Resources Hughes Hubbard & Reed website Kevin Carroll on LinkedIn Kenyen Brown on LinkedIn

In diesem #Employmenttalk möchten wir Ihnen Tipps für den Umgang mit Auskunftsansprüchen an die Hand geben und die Schnittstelle zwischen Arbeitsrecht, Datenschutzrecht und Internal Investigations beleuchten. Dabei soll es u.a. um folgenden Themen gehen: Wie weit reicht der Auskunftsanspruch, bspw. auf internationaler Konzernebene? Können Mitarbeiter:innen nur von ihrem Vertragsarbeitgeber Auskunft verlangen oder auch von internationalen Gruppengesellschaften? Kann der Betriebsrat den Auskunftsanspruch für Arbeitnehmer:innen durchsetzen? Wie kann der Arbeitgeber eine vollständige und richtige Auskunft in Hinblick auf die vom Betriebsrat verarbeiteten personenbezogenen Daten sicherstellen (§ 79a BetrVG)? Wann kann der Arbeitgeber die Auskunft verweigern oder einschränken?

Zu Gast im Criminal Compliance Podcast ist Herr Dr. Jochen Keilich, LL.M. (Exeter). Gemeinsam sprechen Dr. Rosinus und Dr. Keilich über das Thema Betriebsratsvergütung und die damit in Zusammenhang stehenden Strafbarkeitsrisiken. Grundlage des Gesprächs ist insbesondere das Urteil des Bundesgerichtshofs (BGH) vom 10. Januar 2023 (6 StR 133/22). Nach einer kurzen Vorstellung von Herr Dr. Keilich, erklärt dieser das im Betriebsratsrecht geltende Entgeltausfallprinzip. Sodann beleuchten Dr. Keilich und Dr. Rosinus das strafrechtliche Verfahren, welches dem BGH-Urteil vom 10. Januar 2023 zugrunde liegt. Die Staatsanwaltschaft wirft ehemaligen Personalverantwortlichen eines Automobilkonzerns Untreue wegen vermeintlich überhöhter Zahlungen an Betriebsratsmitglieder vor. Dr. Keilich erläutert anhand dieses Falles die Grundlagen der Bemessung der Betriebsratsvergütung. Dr. Rosinus und Dr. Keilich sprechen über die Auswirkungen des BGH-Urteils im Hinblick auf die bisherige Rechtsprechung des Bundesarbeitsgerichts (BAG) zur Berücksichtigung hypothetischer Karriereentwicklungen von Betriebsratsmitgliedern und Dr. Keilich erklärt, wieso seines Erachtens der gemeinsame Senat vor Erlass des BGH-Urteils hätte angerufen werden müssen. Des Weiteren zeigt Dr. Keilich anhand konkreter Beispiele Widersprüche in der aktuellen Rechtsprechung zum Betriebsratsvergütungsrecht auf und erläutert den gesetzgeberischen Handlungsbedarf. Zuletzt beleuchten Dr. Rosinus und Dr. Keilich die im Zusammenhang mit der Betriebsratsvergütung stehenden Strafbarkeitsrisiken und sprechen darüber, welche Auswirkungen das Urteil auf die Compliance-Beratung hat. Hier geht's zum Urteil des BGH vom 10. Januar 2023 – 6 StR 133/22: https://juris.bundesgerichtshof.de/cgi-bin/rechtsprechung/document.py?Gericht=bgh&Art=en&Datum=Aktuell&Sort=12288&nr=132669&pos=4&anz=868 Dr. Rosinus im Gespräch mit: Dr. Jochen Keilich, LL.

Welcome to the Hughes Hubbard Anticorruption and Internal investigation Practice Group's podcast, where host Tom Fox and members of the Hughes Hubbard Anticorruption and Internal Investigation Practices Group delve into the legal issues surrounding white-collar and other investigations, both domestically and internationally. Laura Perkins and Mike Huneke join Tom on this episode to discuss the changes to the Department of Justice's Corporate Enforcement Policy. Laura Perkins is the Co-Chair of the Anti-Corruption & Internal Investigations practice group and Co-Managing Partner of the Washington, DC office at Hughes Hubbard & Reed. Prior to joining the firm, Laura worked for nearly ten years at the Criminal Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, where she served as Assistant Chief of the FCPA Unit and oversaw some of the largest individual and corporate FCPA cases in the U.S. Laura now advises corporations, boards of directors, and senior executives on high-stakes government and internal investigations, crisis management, white-collar criminal defense, and cross-border compliance counseling. She has particular expertise in FCPA/anti-corruption, healthcare fraud, financial fraud, and money laundering cases. Mike Huneke is a partner at Hughes Hubbard & Reed, specializing in Anti-Corruption & Internal Investigations. His work involves advising clients on navigating complex international anti-corruption investigations, implementing compliance risk assessments and program enhancements, and conducting due diligence on third parties. He has received several awards, including Lexology's Client Choice Award for Investigations-USA in 2022 and recognition from Global Investigations Review for his work representing Airbus in resolving bribery and corruption allegations. Key ideas you'll hear in this episode: The Department of Justice's corporate enforcement policy has been expanded to a broader range of white-collar crimes. Prosecutors can use it to evaluate possible criminal violations against a company when investigating potential criminal violations. It's also an unofficial guide for companies on how to position themselves to avoid prosecution or mitigate consequences. The new policy offers up to a 75% discount for self-reporting, which is a significant change and an additional incentive for companies to self-report. The discounts offered can stack up quickly, and the range of penalties for non-compliance can be large, so the discount can make a marked difference in the amount of criminal penalty under the sentencing guidelines. There may still be apprehension about self-reporting, as there is uncertainty about the actual penalties and the reputational harm that can result from a public criminal resolution. The definition of extraordinary cooperation is subjective and largely depends on the speed and fulsomeness of the material that is going from the company to the department. KEY QUOTES: “One of the major [changes to the Corporate Enforcement Policy is] increasing the maximum potential fine reduction that a company can get for self-reporting. It's a further effort by the Department to incentivize self-reporting.” - Laura Perkins “I think the more that the government is able to show examples of the application of this increased benefit for exceptionally cooperating recidivists and ABB is actually a great example of that.” - Mike Huneke Resources: Hughes Hubbard & Reed website Laura Perkins on LinkedIn Mike Huneke on LinkedIn

Welcome to the Hughes Hubbard Anti-Corruption and Internal Investigations Practice Group's Podcast, All Things Investigations. In this podcast, host Tom Fox and returning guest, Laura Perkins of the Hughes Hubbard Anti-Corruption & Internal Investigations Practice Group, highlight some of the key legal issues in white-collar investigations, locally and internationally. Laura Perkins is a Hughes Hubbard partner whose practice focuses on representing clients in Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and white-collar criminal investigations, including government enforcement actions and compliance counseling. She also advises clients on issues related to the FCPA, the federal securities laws, the False Claims Act, and other federal statutes. Key areas we explain on this podcast are: How the Monaco Memo instructs prosecutors to evaluate the prosecution of individuals responsible for corporate crime. The Monaco Memo is guiding prosecutors to charge more foreign individuals as opposed to less. Steps a company can take to show timeliness to the DOJ. The Memo underscores the DOJ's desire for companies to self-report misconduct that they become aware of. Previously, in determining whether a monitorship was appropriate, prosecutors would look at what state your compliance program was in at the time of resolution. The importance of clear communication in understanding the DOJ's expectations. Resources Hughes Hubbard & Reed website  Laura Perkins on LinkedIn The Hughes Hubbard & Reed website has been updated with the following Anti-Corruption & Internal Investigations advisory: Cutting Through the Noise: Take‑Aways from the DOJ's Recent Announcements Regarding Corporate Criminal Enforcement On September 15, 2022, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco announced a series of policy revisions to the U.S. Department of Justice's approach to criminal enforcement actions against corporations. At a high-level, these new policy revisions show the Department's desire to take an approach to criminal enforcement that targets the individuals directly responsible for corporate misconduct and encourages companies to assist in preventing misconduct by creating effective compliance programs and cultures. Companies should carefully review these policy changes and identify steps they can take to put themselves in the best position possible should they be subject to a criminal investigation in the future.  For our discussion about these developments, follow this link to our website. Practice Co-Chair Laura Perkins will cover this topic in-depth in an All Things Investigations podcast, which will be released on Monday, Sept. 26.

In this podcast, host Tom Fox and members of the Hughes Hubbard Anti-Corruption & Internal Investigations Practice Group will highlight some of the key legal issues involved in white-collar and other investigations, both domestically and internationally. In this episode, I visit with Mike DeBernardis, a partner at Hughes Hubbard, about some of the key developments in ethics compliance and FCPA from Q1 2022. Michael A. DeBernardis is a partner in the firm's Washington office and a member of the firm's Anti-Corruption and Internal Investigations and White Collar & Regulatory Defense practice groups.

Key areas we discuss on this podcast are:  Q1 brought resolutions that were excellent examples for training and increasing understanding of compliance issues.  One of the more difficult aspects of compliance is scoping investigations. View input from your monitor as an opportunity to truly improve your processes, procedures, and controls. Having a positive relationship with them is hugely valuable. Developing an investigation plan and protocols is an iterative process. Changes to the SEC Whistleblower program. Anti-corruption implications of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.   Resources Hughes Hubbard & Reed website Mike DeBernardis  Coburn and the Attorney/Client Privilege
