Corporations of every size face a range of enterprise risks or have to comply with mandated regulatory settlements requiring independent monitoring. Such ongoing challenges require an operating environment that has robust internal controls and compliance policies that are tested and remediated on an on-going basis. Rocha Law LLC provides integrated global teams of industry specialists and compliance experts who offer a cost-effective approach to testing, enhancing and monitoring criminal and corporate compliance programs.
Effective compliance programs play a critical role in warning off potential threats and preventing violations of laws that, at a minimum, could tarnish a corporation’s image and impact its business relationships or financial viability.
At Rocha Law LLC, Nathasha Rocha leads highly experienced professionals who bring detailed knowledge of their fields and industries to client projects, providing full-scale assessments, process improvement and support for compliance programs.
Together, we help analyze current policies and procedures to find gaps or breaches in existing safeguards and are adept at designing and implementing controls that serve to rehabilitate deficiencies and/or monitor the continuing effectiveness of an organization’s compliance program in an ever-changing business environment.
What We Do
Risk Mitigation
We help our clients conduct proactive corruption risk assessments, enhance compliance programs and perform value-added analysis that help decision-makers address and mitigate specific corruption risks.
Our multidisciplinary team conducts corruption risk assessments including pre-acquisition corruption risk reviews, designs and implements risk-based compliance programs, performs geopolitical risk assessments and market entry analysis, and also performs post-acquisition and third-party compliance audit.
Investigation Support
We offer a wide range of expert support at every stage of a criminal investigation at a global level. We collect information through publicly available material, conduct interviews and investigate beneficial relationships in order to produce a report for key stakeholders based on our investigation that answers the questions who, what, where, when, how and why of the identified facts and events.
Remediation Programs
Concurrent with, or following, a corruption investigation, our integrated teams of professionals are experienced in assisting our clients with reporting to key stakeholders and regulators, and developing and implementing remedial plans designed to enhance anti-corruption protocols and internal accounting controls.
Our integrated teams can assist by developing and implementing remediation plans to address control weaknesses in a particular business or systemic issues across the criminal compliance program by developing or modifying anti-corruption policies and procedures.
