DOJ's Fraud Division has new priorities for corporate cases. An October 1 directive identifies factors prosecutors must weigh heavily, including executive involvement, concealment, multi-year or multi-district schemes, and losses of $25 million or more. That $25 million figure is drawing attention, but it is not a charging threshold. It is one factor among several, and a lower dollar matter involving senior management can still draw serious scrutiny. Lindsey Lazopoulos Friedman, @BrianDNieves, and @JonForFairfax break down what the directive means for companies, the expanded role of DOJ's Corporate Enforcement Section, and how the September False Claims Act revisions fit in. holtzmanvogel.com/news-insig… #GovernmentInvestigations #CorporateGovernance #CorporateEnforcement #CorporateFraud

They also explain why companies facing parallel inquiries should work from a single factual record from the start.

How a company handles the first 72 hours often determines whether it keeps control of its facts and communications. In the latest installment of our #CongressionalOversightIntelligence Series, @BrianDNieves, @Kellen_Dwyer and Steven LaRussa outline what executives need to get right in those opening days.

Our new #CongressionalOversightIntelligence series looks at how congressional investigations develop and what companies can do while they are underway. In the first article, @BrianDNieves, @JonforFairfax, and Steven LaRussa explain how committee staff build the record long before a public hearing. By the time an executive testifies, the questions often reflect months of preparation. Companies that keep their own chronology and track what they have told Congress are better positioned to identify problems before they surface publicly.
