Ericsson announced that on March 28, 2024, the independent compliance Monitor appointed by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) (in June of 2020 in connection with Ericsson's resolution of historical violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) violations) has certified that Ericsson's anti-corruption compliance program has satisfied requirements and is functioning effectively. This independent certification is a condition to conclusion of the Monitorship and Plea Agreement, currently expected to occur no later than June 2, 2024. The role of the independent Monitor over the past four years has been to comprehensively review, assess, evaluate and test all aspects of the company's global anti-corruption compliance program and internal controls.

In fulfilling its duties, the independent Monitor team has had full access to the company's Board, executives, employees, global operations and books and records. The Monitor's final certification is based on its four year review and has included "an assessment of the Board of Directors' and senior management's commitment to, and effective implementation of, the corporate compliance program".
