In this episode of the Compliance Perspectives Podcast, James Tillen discusses the guidance issued by the U.K. Government for the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act (the Guidance), its similarities to the Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs (ECCP) issued by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), and implications for anti-corruption and compliance professionals. "The [U.K.] Guidance includes additional considerations that the DOJ doesn't cover or covers with a different approach, particularly as it is fraud focused whereas the DOJ Guidance focuses on compliance programs more generally. So, for example, the U.K. Guidance specifies the type of communications senior management can make to support the fraud procedures, including that senior management express commitments to reject fraud even if it results in short term business loss, missed opportunities, or delays," said Tillen.
