Ceresney and Caldwell Remarks Highlight New SEC Self-Reporting Policy, Cooperation, Remediation and Transparency

The government’s keynote speeches at ACI’s recent FCPA Conference featured familiar tunes, but a few of the lyrics were new.  Andrew J. Ceresney, the Director of the SEC Division of Enforcement, and Leslie R. Caldwell, Assistant Attorney General of the DOJ Criminal Division, offered their views on their respective agency’s recent FCPA enforcement activity, focusing, as they usually do, on the benefits of self-reporting, cooperation and remediation by companies that discover misconduct.  Ceresney made an announcement about a new SEC policy regarding self-reporting and promised aggressive enforcement.  Meanwhile, Caldwell opined on the Yates memo and its effect on internal investigations and promised to continue increasing transparency.  For coverage of Ceresney and Caldwell’s speeches during the 2014 ACI program see “Caldwell and Ceresney Push Companies on FCPA Compliance, Cooperation and Self-Reporting” (Dec. 3, 2014).
