Two Obscure Academic Papers and Compliance


Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast which takes a deep dive into a compliance related topic, literally going into the weeds to more fully explore a subject. This week, Matt and Tom take up two recent academic papers which every compliance practitioner should study as they provide insight about how communications can impact both fraud prevention and compliance. Some of the issues we consider

  • Berger and Lee on state FCA claims cutting overall accounting fraud.
  • Jinjie Lin on SEC tweeting and reduction of SEC violations.
  • What do these communication strategies portend?
  • How can they be used by the compliance professional?
  • Why whistleblowing does more than simply prevent fraud, waste and abuse. Itimproves the bottom line.
  • Investment in communications strategies pays off.
