CORRUPTION, CRIME & NON COMPLIANCE
Boeing’s Plea Agreement includes two Separate Factual Statements
the January 7, 2021 DPA, which is discussed in a prior blog post,
and a factual outline of Boeing’s breach of the original DPA,
resulting in the current Plea Agreement.
The most recent Factual Statement covers Boeing’s DPA breach for
failure to implement an effective ethics and compliance program
that is, ethics for thee but not for me
“designed, implemented, and enforced to prevent and detect violations
of the U.S. fraud laws throughout its operations.”
At the core of the conduct, DOJ cites Boeing for its failure to integrate
anti-fraud controls into its Quality and Safety functions.
Nope, we just delete the surveillance video’s:
DOJ’s enforcement of the DPA to require such integration is an
important precedent for companies that face significant safety risks
and the need for “traditional” ethics and compliance functions to design, implement and test its anti-fraud controls in the area of safety and quality. Such an extension is an important reminder for manufacturing companies, auto, pharmaceutical and medical device and other industries where
consumer safety is a significant risk.
