and responsibility for restoring public trust by conducting themselves in a manner that is worthy of the trust that is placed in them.” Cynthia

312 Indeed, research has found that “[e]thical culture is the single biggest factor determining the amount of misconduct that will take place in a business.” Ethics Resource Center, 2009 National Business Ethics Survey: Ethics in the Recession (2009), at 41. Metrics of ethical culture include ethical leadership (tone at the top), supervisor reinforcement of ethical behavior (middle management reinforcement), and peer commitment (supporting one another in doing the right thing). Ethics Resource Center, 2011 National Business Ethics Survey: Workplace Ethics in Transition (2012) at 19. Strong ethical cultures and strong ethics and compliance programs are related, as data show that a well-implemented program helps lead to a strong ethical culture. Id. at 34. “Understanding the nature of any gap between the desired culture and the actual culture is a critical first step in determining the nature of any ethics-based risks inside the organization.” David Gebler, The Role of Culture at 1.7, in Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics, The Complete Compliance and Ethics Manual (2011). To create an ethical culture, attention must be paid to norms at all levels of an organization, including the “tone at the top,” “mood in the middle,” and “buzz at the bottom.” Id. 1.9-1.10.

(9)Whether the contractor has had adequate

time to eliminate the circumstances within the contractor’s organization that led to the cause for debarment.

39215 U.S.C. § 78u-6(a)(3). The new provision defines “original information” to mean information that:

(A)is derived from the independent knowledge

or analysis of a whistleblower; (B) is not known to the Commission from any other source, unless the whistleblower is the original source of the

information; and (C) is not exclusively derived from an allegation made in a judicial or administrative hearing, in a governmental report, hearing, audit, or investigation, or from the news media, unless the whistleblower is a source of the information.

39315 U.S.C. § 78u-6; see also Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Pub. L. No. 111-203, § 922, 124 Stat. 1376, 1841-49 (2010).

394For detailed information about the program, including eligibility requirements and certain limitations that apply, see Section 922 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, available

at http://www.sec.gov/about/offices/owb/dodd-frank-sec-922.pdf, and the final rules on eligibility, Exchange Act Rule 21F-8, 17 C.F.R. § 240.21F-8.

395 For example, the rules: (1) make a whistleblower eligible for an award if the whistleblower reports original information internally, and the company informs the SEC about the violations; (2) give whistleblowers 120 days to report information to the SEC after first reporting

internally and still be treated as if he or she had reported to the SEC at the earlier reporting date , thus preserving their “place in line” for a possible whistleblower award from the SEC; and (3) provide that a

whistleblower’s voluntary participation in an entity’s internal compliance and reporting systems is a factor that can increase the amount of an award, and that a whistleblower’s interference with internal compliance and reporting system is a factor that can decrease the amount of an award. See Exchange Act Rule 21F, 17 C.F.R. § 240.21F.

396See Exchange Act Rule 21F-7(b), 17 C.F.R. § 240.21F-7(b).

397For example, SEC staff will not disclose a whistleblower’s identity in response to requests under the Freedom of Information Act. However, there are limits on SEC’s ability to shield a whistleblower’s identity, and in certain circumstances SEC must disclose it to outside entities. For example, in an administrative or court proceeding, SEC may be required to produce documents or other information that would reveal the whistleblower’s identity. In addition, as part of ongoing SEC investigatory responsibilities, SEC staff may use information provided by a whistleblower during the course of the investigation. In appropriate circumstances, SEC may also provide information, subject to confidentiality requirements, to other governmental or regulatory entities. Exchange Act Rule 21F-7(a), 17 C.F.R. 240.21F-7(a).

398Although SEC does not have an opinion procedure release process, it has declared its decision to follow the guidance announced through DOJ’s FCPA Opinion Release Procedure. U.S. Sec. and Exchange

Comm., SEC Release No. 34-17099 (Aug. 29, 1980), available at http://

www.sec.gov/news/digest/1980/dig082980.pdf. SEC Release No. 3417099 stated that, to encourage issuers to take advantage of the DOJ’s FCPA Review Procedure, as a matter of prosecutorial discretion, SEC would “not take enforcement action alleging violations of Section 30A in any case where an issuer has sought and obtained an FCPA Review letter from the Department, prior to May 31, 1981, stating that the Department will not take enforcement action under Section 30A with respect to the transaction involved.” Id. The release further noted that it would revisit this policy once the DOJ had evaluated the results of the FCPA Review Procedure after its first year of operation. A second release stated that the SEC would continue to adhere to the policy announced in Release No. 34-17099. U.S. Sec. and Exchange Comm., SEC Release No. 34-18255 (Nov. 13, 1981), available at http://www.sec.gov/news/ digest/1981/dig111381.pdf.

399Both DOJ’s opinion procedure releases (from 1993 to present) and review procedure releases (from 1980-1992) are available at http://www. justice.gov/criminal/fraud/fcpa/opinion.

400The full regulations relating to DOJ’s opinion procedure are available at http://www.justice.gov/criminal/fraud/fcpa/docs/frgncrpt.pdf.

40128 C.F.R. § 80.1.

40228 C.F.R. § 80.3.

40328 C.F.R. § 80.12 (“Neither the submission of a request for an

FCPA Opinion, its pendency, nor the issuance of an FCPA Opinion, shall in any way alter the responsibility of an issuer to comply with the accounting requirements of 15 U.S.C. 78m(b)(2) and (3).”).

40428 C.F.R. § 80.4.

40528 C.F.R. § 80.5.

40628 C.F.R. § 80.6.

40728 C.F.R. § 80.14(a). This non-disclosure policy applies regardless of whether DOJ responds to the request or the party withdraws the request before receiving a response. Id.

40828 C.F.R. § 80.6.

40928 C.F.R. § 80.2.

410In connection with any request for an FCPA opinion, DOJ may conduct whatever independent investigation it believes appropriate. 28 C.F.R. § 80.7.

41128 C.F.R. § 80.15. Once a request is withdrawn, it has no effect. However, DOJ reserves the right to retain a copy of any FCPA opinion request, documents, and information submitted during the opinion release procedure for any governmental purpose, subject to the restrictions on disclosures in 28 C.F.R. § 80.14.

41228 C.F.R. § 80.8.

41328 C.F.R. § 80.7. “Such additional information, if furnished orally, must be confirmed in writing promptly. The same person who signed the initial request must sign the written, supplemental information and must again certify it to be a true, correct and complete disclosure of the requested information.” Id.

119

41428 C.F.R. § 80.9 (“No oral clearance, release or other statement purporting to limit the enforcement discretion of the Department of Justice may be given. The requesting issuer or domestic concern may rely only upon a written FCPA opinion letter signed by the Attorney General or his designee.”).

41528 C.F.R. § 80.8. FCPA opinions do not bind or obligate any agency other than DOJ. They also do not affect the requesting party’s obligations to any other agency or under any statutory or regulatory provision other than those specifically cited in the particular FCPA opinion. 28 C.F.R. §

80.11.If the conduct for which an FCPA opinion is requested is subject to approval by any other agency, such FCPA opinion may not be taken to indicate DOJ’s views on any legal or factual issues before that other agency. 28 C.F.R. § 80.13.

41628 C.F.R. § 80.10. DOJ can rebut this presumption by a preponderance of the evidence. A court determining whether the presumption has been rebutted weighs all relevant factors, including whether the submitted information was accurate and complete and the activity was within the scope of conduct specified in the request. Id. As of September 2012, DOJ has never pursued an enforcement action against a party for conduct that formed the basis of an FCPA opinion stating that the prospective conduct would violate DOJ’s present enforcement policy.

417As a general matter, DOJ normally anonymizes much of the information in its publicly released opinions and includes the general nature and circumstances of the proposed conduct. DOJ does not release the identity of any foreign sales agents or other types of identifying information. 28 C.F.R. § 80.14(b). However, DOJ may release the identity of the requesting party, the foreign country in which the proposed conduct is to take place, and any actions DOJ took in response to the FCPA opinion request. Id. If a party believes that an opinion contains proprietary information, it may request that DOJ remove or anonymize those portions of the opinion before it is publicly released. 28 C.F.R. § 80.14(c).

41828 C.F.R. § 80.16.
