The DOJ has updated its Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs document (ECCP) – a year after it hired former AB InBev CCO Matt Galvin to take the lead on evaluating compliance programs. Galvin, an evangelist for the use of data analytics and AI to improve compliance programs, clearly influenced the edits, which heavily focus on the use of new technologies and data. This article examines the history of ECCP edits and the new changes related to AI. The second article will explore other ECCP revisions, such as an increased focus on protecting whistleblowers from retaliation, how compliance is viewed within an organization, how companies should be incorporating lessons learned into their programs and the DOJ’s continued focus on data analytics. The third article will discuss additional changes that touch on anti-retaliation, compliance resources and how companies should incorporate lessons learned into their compliance programs.
