ABOUT MONITORSHIPS
Monitorships bring in an independent third party. Their job? To keep an eye on how a company puts its compliance program into action, making sure they stick to the rules laid out in any settlement. We help companies get ready for this. We also work closely with the monitors, aiming to not just meet, but surpass, all compliance requirements.
UNDERSTANDING NON-PROSECUTION AGREEMENTS (NPA)
Non-Prosecution Agreements offer a route for businesses to sidestep criminal charges for particular violations. In return, these companies agree to strengthen their compliance programs and settle any applicable penalties. Our work centers on negotiating these agreements, striving for the best possible terms. The goal is to allow companies to continue operations without interruption, all while improving their compliance measures.
DEFERRED PROSECUTION AGREEMENTS (DPA) EXPLAINED
Deferred Prosecution Agreements offer a temporary halt to legal action, but only if the company meets specific requirements. These often include bolstering compliance systems or assisting with ongoing investigations. We assist in obtaining DPAs, allowing businesses to address previous wrongdoings and avert future infractions, thereby demonstrating their dedication to operating within the law.
CORPORATE INTEGRITY AGREEMENTS (CIA)
Corporate Integrity Agreements, or CIAs, are often the result of negotiations with healthcare providers, a means of addressing healthcare fraud. These agreements demand the creation of comprehensive compliance programs and the implementation of regular audits. We help organizations navigate the intricate landscape of CIAs, striving to ensure they not only fulfill their compliance requirements but also achieve a high standard of operational integrity.
