In September 2024, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) issued significant updates to its Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs (ECCP). As an internal audit professional, your role in safeguarding your organization from compliance failures is crucial. This white paper provides an annotated summary of the DOJ’s new guidance, highlighting key changes that directly impact your audit responsibilities, including:
- Addressing Emerging Technology Risks: Understand the new focus on artificial intelligence (AI) and other disruptive technologies. Learn how to audit your organization’s controls to mitigate the misuse of AI and ensure compliance.
- Whistleblower Protections: Stay updated on the DOJ’s enhanced expectations for whistleblower programs, including new incentives and protections. Ensure that your company’s reporting mechanisms and anti-retaliation policies meet DOJ standards.
- Data Resources and Access: Audit your organization’s use of data analytics tools. The DOJ now places emphasis on compliance programs having timely and effective access to relevant data for risk monitoring.
This white paper equips internal audit teams with the knowledge to identify gaps in compliance programs, conduct risk-based audits, and evaluate the effectiveness of controls in light of the DOJ’s revised criteria.
