The New Era of Regulatory Enforcement: A Comprehensive Guide for Raising the Bar to Manage Risk
With all Olympic Games venues and services financed with federal funds under investigation amidst Brazil’s political and economic turmoil, the world at large is questioning the country’s true readiness for the Olympics come August. This unique convergence of events — the impeachment of their President, an event set upon a global stage, the largest corruption scandal the country has faced, etc. — offers a glimpse into the immense impact such corruption can have on not only a country’s government but their economy as a whole as well.
Recently teaming up to write The New Era of Regulatory Enforcement: A Comprehensive Guide for Raising the Bar to Manage Risk [McGraw-Hill Education, 2016], Richard H. Girgenti, J.D., National and Americas Leader for KPMG LLP’s Forensic Advisory Services and Timothy P. Hedley, Ph.D., KPMG’s Global Lead for Fraud Risk Management Services, have closely analyzed the key events that have played a role in shaping what they refer to as this ‘New Era’ in the regulatory landscape over the past 15 years. Girgenti and/or Hedley discuss:
- Lessons we can learn from Brazil and their corruption scandal
- To what extent has this corruption had an impact on the Olympics (from stadiums to security contracts and more)
- How this corruption is impacting Brazil’s economy as a whole, from the taxpayer to multinational companies doing business abroad
- Could this event be at the possible start of a new “New Era”?
