Welcome to the award-winning FCPA Compliance Report, the most senior podcast in compliance. I have double trouble in this episode as I welcome Scott Garland and Zach Hafer, who worked together for many years at the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts. Scott Garland and Zach Hafer are now in private practice, Garland as a Managing Director at Affiliated Monitors, Inc. and Hafer as a Partner at Cooley LLP in Boston. Some of the highlights include:

1. DOJ corporate enforcement through DPAs and NPAs based upon Hafer’s tenure as the Criminal Chief. Discussed the need to balance approving prosecutions for general impact vs. based on the case’s merits.

2. How does the Monaco Memo change the DOJ focus?

3. Garland leads a discussion of compliance issues within a prosecutor’s office, why your compliance philosophy is so critical, and some of the biggest issues and situations they both confronted while in the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts.

4. Discussion of receiving compliance advice: what worked and what did not.

5. Discuss transitioning from DOJ to private practice, and Zach and Scott summarize some of the key questions they are getting from clients.

6. Garland opines on key issues he sees for monitors after Monaco Memo and concludes with why proactive monitoring can be such a powerful tool.
