Wolters Kluwer Handbook of Compliance & Integrity Management. Theory and Practice

This handbook is the first resource to provide a scientific analysis of the nature of compliance. It examines the subject from such crucial and varied perspectives as ethics, behavioral science, risk management, accounting, and European and international law.

With chapters contributed by lecturers of VU University Amsterdams flourishing post-doctoral Executive Master Program in Compliance and Integrity Management which fosters alternatives such as greater trust in self-regulation and market discipline the book explores such aspects of compliance and integrity management as the following: monitoring risk compliance and integrity; stakeholder and reputation management; conflicts of interest; anti-bribery; export controls; extraterritorial jurisdiction of U.S. legislation; fraud; duty of care; market abuse; privacy; and competition. The analysis throughout is supported by a comprehensive study of the literature concerning the raison d'être of supervision and regulation. Meeting the need for an in-depth analysis of the expanding field of compliance and integrity management, this book is a milestone in a field that is rapidly growing in importance across a wide spectrum of business and professional activity. It will prove an essential practical resource for company or institutional officers worldwide in setting up a compliance function in their organization. About the Author Prof. S.C.
