A Unified CEP: The VSD Calculus

  • Megan Zwiebel
    Anti-Corruption Report
After months of anticipation, the DOJ moved in March to reset the calculus for corporate self-reporting. Its new corporate enforcement policy (Unified CEP) closely resembles the Criminal Division’s 2025 policy update, while layering in changes meant to further incentivize voluntary disclosure of potential criminal violations. This second article in a two-part series on the Unified CEP evaluates the changes it introduces and whether and how the new policy might impact the voluntary self-disclosure calculus for companies. The first article analyzed just how “unified” the new policy really is. See our three-part series “2025 in Review”: White-Collar Enforcement the “Right Way” Remains a Priority (Dec. 17, 2025), DOJ Perspectives on How the Blanche Memo Restarted FCPA Enforcement (Jan. 14, 2026), and Impact on In-House Teams and Their Defense Counsel (Jan. 28, 2026).
