The Department of Justice (DOJ) has seen an uptick in self-reported potential misconduct by corporations since it increased incentives for voluntary disclosure, according to Assistant Attorney General Kenneth Polite Jr.

Polite, head of the DOJ’s Criminal Division, said the agency made the decision to enhance and expand its policy on voluntary self-disclosure because it noticed a downward trend in self-reporting of potential violations.
