In the second part of an article series on updates to the US Department of Justice’s (DOJ’s) Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs, partner Amy Schuh spoke with the Anti-Corruption Report about how the updates align with the DOJ’s M&A Safe Harbor policy that provides leniency for companies that identify and remediate compliance issues after a merger or acquisition.
Amy said that the role of compliance and risk management in the integration strategy “is critical to the company’s ability to integrate internal controls timely, which is an expectation of the Safe Harbor policy.”
