Compliance Week

Q&A with former FCPA unit chief Charles Duross on the DOJ’s monitorship policy In May 2025, Matthew Galeotti, Head of the Department of Justice (DOJ) Criminal Division, issued a memorandum outlining the criteria Criminal Division prosecutors are to consider for imposing and selecting independent compliance monitors in corporate resolutions. To better understand how the DOJ’s monitorship policy has evolved over the years, what practical implications the new memo has on companies facing Criminal Division matters, and what makes for an effective monitorship, Compliance Week caught up with Morrison Foerster partner Charles Duross, co-head of the firm’s FCPA and Global Anti-Corruption practice. Duross brings a unique perspective, having overseen 17 monitorships during his four years as Chief of the Fraud Section’s FCPA Unit from 2010-14, in addition to serving as a former compliance monitor for Brazil-based construction and engineering company Odebrecht from 2017 until November 2020.

Agentic AI and the policy blind spot: Why security can’t wait AI regulation is advancing, but gaps remain—especially around agentic AI. The EU AI Act takes a strict, risk-based approach, while the U.S. AI Action Plan prioritizes innovation and security over regulation. Yet neither fully addresses the unique risks of autonomous AI systems. Organizations can’t afford to wait for a perfect policy. Building visibility, modeling threats early, and continuously monitoring AI agents are essential steps today. Security shouldn’t slow innovation—it should be the seatbelt that lets us accelerate safely.

New EU Data Act may impact companies’ GDPR compliance efforts New rules that have recently come into effect across the EU will allow for greater transfers of data between companies, though experts fear the changes could conflict with Europe’s strict privacy legislation, which protects personal information. The EU Data Act (EDA), which came into force on Sept. 12, will fundamentally change how companies handle data from connected products and related services. The EDA gives users (both businesses and consumers) rights to access, use, and share data generated by Internet of Things (IoT) devices, smart appliances, or industrial equipment. This impacts manufacturers, service providers, and cloud operators, including non-EU companies offering services to EU customers. Cloud providers, including software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS) and infrastructure as a service (IaaS) firms, must enable seamless switching, remove technical and contractual lock-ins, and ensure interoperability. For manufacturers, connected products placed on the market after September 2026 must allow users to access data either directly or on request, in structured, machine-readable formats, promoting transparency and control.
