The GC Role in CCO Certification with Mike Huneke

Welcome to the Hughes Hubbard Anti-Corruption and Internal Investigations Practice Group’s Podcast, All Things Investigations. In this podcast, host Tom Fox and returning guest Mike Huneke of the Hughes Hubbard Anti-Corruption & Internal Investigations Practice Group, highlight some of the key legal issues in white-collar investigations, locally and internationally. Mike Huneke is a partner in the firm’s Washington office. Among many other things, Mike advises clients on the navigation and resolution of multi-jurisdictional criminal or Multilateral Development Bank (MDB) anti-corruption investigations, assisting companies subject to post-resolution monitorships or other commitments, and designing and executing risk-based strategies for due diligence on third parties. Key areas we discuss on this podcast are: Explaining the new CCO certification policy the DOJ has released. The DOJ has likely made changes to CCO certification policy due to a significant feeling of mistrust about the adequacy of some companies’ compliance with the terms of settlements. How has the DOJ evolved? Reasonableness is not a factual basis.  Companies with full transparency are unlikely to have conflicts due to the recent changes in CCO certification.
