Special Investigations
Tightened federal initiatives such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Patriot Act, the False Claims Act, and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act have increased pressure on U.S. organizations to demonstrate compliance with myriad complex laws and regulations, and, when necessary, to identify and disclose fraudulent activities. In particular, the Federal Government has enacted reporting regulations for transfers of large sums of money to try and identify people who are potentially laundering money. It is also engaging in wide ranging probes of international industries, both those domestically owned and foreign owned operating within the Unites States.
More than ever, corporate executives and directors must ensure that processes and internal controls address these increasing requirements and scrutiny. This can be difficult as history has shown that is often a company's most trusted and respected employees who perpetrate the illicit acts. Undetected, these illegal activities will adversely impact the organization’s performance and legal exposure.
