Top 10 Takeaways from the DOJ’s Updated Compliance Program Guidance
In September 2024, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) issued new updates to its Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs (ECCP), refining the criteria that prosecutors use to evaluate corporate compliance in criminal investigations. First introduced in June 2020 and last revised in September 2024, this guidance continues to evolve with a sharper focus on risks associated with emerging technologies, especially artificial intelligence (AI), enhanced use of data analytics, and expanded whistleblower protections.
These updates closely align with Emtrain’s commitment to raising the bar for corporate compliance, encouraging proactive risk management, data-driven insights, and a strong “speak-up” culture within organizations.
