Principled LRN

The US Department of Justice Criminal Division has been increasingly vocal about what makes organizations’ ethics and compliance programs effective. This input on program effectiveness takes the form of guidance to prosecutors about what questions to ask when companies negotiate to resolve DOJ investigations into corporate wrongdoing on favorable terms. What does this guidance on program effectiveness mean in practice for E&C professionals? In this episode of LRN’s Principled Podcast, host Susan Divers speaks with John Michelich, who retired last November after 35 years as a federal prosecutor with the Department of Justice’s Criminal Division. Listen in as they explore how the DOJ evaluates E&C programs, as well as best practices for companies settling misconduct investigations.

Amid the escalating severity and frequency of new risks worldwide, Ethics and Compliance (E&C) initiatives are doubling down on efforts to mitigate these risks. This critical focus is underscored in LRN's latest 2024 Ethics & Compliance Program Effectiveness Report, which draws insights from over 1,400 E&C professionals globally. Our findings reveal that values-driven programs not only prove most effective but also exhibit a robust correlation with risk reduction and enhanced business outcomes. In light of this evolving risk landscape, how are E&C programs in regions such as the Middle East adapting? Furthermore, what do the everyday practices of global best standards entail for programs operating within this region?
 
In this episode of the Principled Podcast, host Eric Morehead, is joined by Elvis Angyiembe, the co-founder of the Middle East and Africa Compliance Association—or MEACA. Elvis joined us last season to discuss what the E&C priorities are for companies in the Middle East.
