Book Description
Praise for Managing the Risk of Fraud and Misconduct: Meeting the Challenge of a Global, Regulated, and Digital Environment “This book belongs on any desk where fraud and misconduct threaten. It is bristling with the kind of detail this field truly needs. Written by leading pros at the top of their game, its soup-to-nuts advice matches solutions to problems.

The fact is, we all share this responsibility. As a current and comprehensive guide to the subject, this book should be recommended reading for every public company director.” Kenneth Daly, President and CEO, National Association of Corporate Directors "Written for managers from C-level on down -- without avoiding technical jargon. This approach, combined with a consistent, efficient, easy-to-read writing style, leads to a thorough understanding of the subject without compromising its technical accuracy. I strongly recommend this book." - Randall LaSalle, Ph.D., CPA, CFE, John Jay College of Criminal Justice Department of Economics " Managing the Risk of Fraud and Misconduct delves in great depth into the issues and provides sage advice. Based on my experience, the book should be required reading for every general counsel and most corporate counsel." - Albert Driver, Editor, The Metropolitan Corporate Counsel "An extremely detailed book that serves as a comprehensive guideline for risk managers." - Business Finance "The definitive authority on this important business issue-the fraud risk management bible" that stresses "the ever- growing importance of integrity in business." - Risk Management "Both a history of recent developments in the field -- and a comprehensive plan for developing a robust approach to deterring, detecting, and preventing fraud, and to assessing both a company's vulnerabilities and the success of its anti-fraud measures." - Accounting Today "This book addresses the challenges posed by changes in law, technology, and globalization in a comprehensive manner that can help the reader improve core competencies and initiate some interesting dialogue in the process." - Elizabeth Sullivan Armetta, CIA, CAMS, The Institute of Internal Auditors A Comprehensive "C-Level" Guide to Preventing and Responding to Fraud and Misconduct Maintaining and enhancing the integrity of an organization in a global, regulated, and digital environment has become an increasingly complex and difficult challenge for business leaders.

Compliance Management

Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1440833125
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
This practical guide shows how to build an effective compliance and ethics program that will lower a business's risks and improve productivity. Research increasingly supports the notion that ethical, compliant businesses see increased productivity across a range of measurements. This practical guide tells business professionals, business and law students, and other interested parties exactly how that goal can be achieved. The book covers an extensive range of ethics-compliant laws and regulations impacting businesses today and identifies critical factors for successful compliance programs. Going well beyond works that speak in general terms about compliance-based actions, this unique volume delves into details about specific regulatory issues and the steps that can be taken to mitigate risk. The first half of the book shares general guidelines for creating or improving internal compliance and ethics programs. The second half identifies specific, high-risk regulatory areas; provides an overview of relevant laws; and sets forth best practices specific to the regulations discussed. By providing a simplified understanding of compliance with laws related to issues such as antitrust, international business, wages and labor, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and health care, the environment and more, the guide offers readers the tools necessary to improve an existing compliance program or create a new program where none has existed before.

Encyclopedia of White-Collar and Corporate Crime
Author: Lawrence M. Salinger
Publisher: SAGE Publications
ISBN: 1506332773
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 1739
Book Description
Since the first edition of the Encyclopedia of White Collar and Corporate Crime was produced in 2004, the number and severity of these crimes have risen to the level of calamity, so much so that many experts attribute the near-Depression of 2008 to white-collar malfeasance, namely crimes of greed and excess by bankers and financial institutions. Whether the perpetrators were prosecuted or not, white-collar and corporate crime came near to collapsing the U.S. economy. In the 7 years since the first edition was produced we have also seen the largest Ponzi scheme in history (Maddoff), an ecological disaster caused by British Petroleum and its subcontractors (Gulf Oil Spill), and U.S. Defense Department contractors operating like vigilantes in Iraq (Blackwater). White-collar criminals have been busy, and the Second Edition of this encyclopedia captures what has been going on in the news and behind the scenes with new articles and updates to past articles.
