Menu10/3/16: In remarks prepared for the American Bar Association Southeastern White Collar Crime Institute, Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General David Bitkower spoke about DOJ’s “… new, broad-based and proactive approaches to emerging issues in the area of white collar crime.” He focused specifically on those approaches in the areas of health care fraud, financial fraud, FCPA, and international. The remarks are worth reading, providing insight into DOJ’s thinking and approach to enforcing the multitude of laws under its jurisdiction. Among the topics that matter to compliance professionals: DOJ’s “metrics-oriented” approach to evaluating compliance for companies seeking to resolve criminal investigations, the FCPA, and global collaboration on investigations and prosecutions.
