From the supplier: Corporate criminal liability may attach for the actions of an agent when the agent is acting within the scope of employment and the actions are for the benefit of the corporation. Compliance programs do not provide a safe harbor but may be considered favorably by enforcement agencies. Infeasibility of prevention of criminal activity is not a defense to corporate criminal liability. Because criminal liability requires some intent and a corporation cannot form an intent, proving the mens rea element has required prosecutors to develop respondeat superior, willful blindness and collective knowledge theories.
