Handbook of Compliance & Integrity Management provides a scientific underpinning for the practice of compliance. The compliance discipline in companies and financial institutions has grown exponentially in recent years. In spite of a plethora of works on compliance, the academic discipline on compliance is still in its infancy. This book, which is the result of the researches conducted by the Post-Doctoral Education in Compliance and Integrity Management of the VU University, examines the subject from such crucial and varied perspectives as ethics, behavioural science, risk management, accounting, and European and international law. Much more than a critical approach to the existing practice of supervision, it provides a wealth of information, guidance, and valuable insights into the day-to-day work of compliance officers.

What’s in this book

With chapters which foster alternatives such as greater trust in self-regulation and market discipline, this book explores 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 US 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.
