Where a company self-reports but does not qualify for a declination, or aggravating factors exist, the department-wide policy provides for a non-prosecution agreement of under three years, no independent compliance monitor and a fine reduction of 50% to 75% off the low end of the US Sentencing Guidelines range, absent particularly egregious or multiple aggravating factors.
Federal; Department of Justice. In other cases the reduction is capped at 50%.
