Title: "What is a Department of Justice Consent Decree? Regulatory Compliance? Tell me more!"
Date: Tuesday, July 12, 2022
Description: Your company knowingly or unknowingly violated law or regulation. What happens next? This presentation will go through the process of resolving a case brought by the US Department of Justice through a consent decree. It will describe the process of negotiating terms of the consent decree and complying with those terms, using Transocean’s Macondo Consent Decree as an example.
Bio: Janet is a Senior Manager of Operations Compliance at Transocean Ltd, where she coordinates compliance with US regulatory authorities, including the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Justice. In addition to US regulatory authorities, Janet also works internationally to ensure the company complies with local and international regulations when initiating operations in a new country.
Janet was previously responsible for the successful design of, compliance with, and reporting regarding the Transocean Macondo compliance program; including partnering with internal function heads and serving as the company’s main interface with third parties regarding the program (such as the EPA, DOJ, BSEE, DOI, legal consultants, external auditors, and the external process safety consultant) which led to:
‾ Release from the EPA Agreement one year early
‾ Negotiation of a 1.1M reduction of stipulated penalties with the DOJ
‾ Release from the Consent Decree
‾ Mitigating and ultimately eliminating the criminal liability risk for the subsidiary company executives and the General Counsel
She began her career over 24 years ago in internal audit before making the jump to the legal space. In addition to regulatory compliance, she also helped large companies mature their ethics and compliance programs and performed and directed complex internal investigations globally.
