I have written a bit on pre-trial agreements including deferred prosecution and non-prosecution agreements. Recent research from the Open Compliance & Ethics Group (OCEG) indicates that while risk and compliance professionals see the value in reviewing the information contained in pre-trial agreements, that few have actually read these documents.
Preliminary results from the research indicate (n = 362):
- 61% of professions believe that the contents of pre-trial agreements are important or critical to their program design
YET - 20% have actually read and applied this information
We found no significant difference in opinion between public vs. private vs. nonprofit vs. governmental organizations. We found no significant difference in opinion between large vs. small firms.
