In $2004,$ the Department of Justice issued a memorandum $($the Thompson Memorandum$),$ with guidelines to avoid the draconian result of the Arthur Anderson case $($which was essentially a "death sentence" for that accounting firm$)$ when a corporation is accused of criminal behavior. The memorandum allows the corporation to "cut a deal" with the government if it does not contest the alleged criminal violations. In exchange for the promise of corporate governance reforms, the payment of fines, and independent monitoring, the corporation can avoid criminal indictment after a lengthy probationary period. These agreements are commonly referred to as

nolo contendre agreements.

exclusionary agreements.

deferred prosecution agreements.

ex post facto agreements.

RICO agreements.
