Corporate Enforcement
The Fraud Division’s Corporate Enforcement Section holds companies accountable while administering Department policies that reward corporate transparency and cooperation in Division corporate cases. The Section works to ensure that companies are fairly held accountable, with a clear, predictable path to resolution when they choose to voluntarily self-disclose, cooperate, and remediate misconduct. In partnership with Fraud Division litigating units and U.S. Attorneys' Offices nationwide, the Section actively supports the Division’s corporate investigations and prosecutions at all phases, from case intake through completion of any corporate resolution or litigation.
Among other work, the Corporate Enforcement Section has primary responsibility for assessing a company’s compliance with the terms of any corporate criminal resolution, including evaluating a company’s efforts to implement or enhance its compliance program, ensuring adequate reporting under any disclosure obligations, and responding to other issues that may arise during the term of the agreement.
