Choctor Corp. started a compliance program to prevent and detect criminal conduct within the company and had specific, high-level officers in charge of overseeing the program. The company effectively communicated the program to its employees and monitored those employees who were in a position to cheat. It promptly disciplined anyone who broke the law. One effect of having this program is:
a. federal investigators might be convinced to limit any prosecution to those directly involved rather than attempting to get a conviction against high-ranking officers or against the company itself.
b. the Federal Sentencing Guidelines no longer apply.
c. any cases would be prosecuted in state, rather than federal, court.
d. federal investigators would no longer investigate the company since Choctaw could take care of any problems internally.
