In his remarks at the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) Anti-Money Laundering and Financial Crimes Conference on May 12, 2025, the Head of the US Department of Justice (DOJ)’s Criminal Division, Matthew Galeotti, announced the following:

• A new White Collar Enforcement Plan
• A revised Corporate Enforcement and Voluntary Disclosure Policy
• A revised Corporate Whistleblower Awards Pilot Program Policy, and
• New guidance on the selection of monitors.

Given the variety of new ways that historical laws may be enforced, companies (especially non-US companies) are encouraged to map out how their business operations overlap with these new enforcement risks and whether their compliance programs and internal controls can effectively manage this new world of white-collar enforcement.
