Download or read book The Cambridge Handbook of Compliance written by Benjamin van Rooij and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-05-20 with total page 1559 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compliance has become key to our contemporary markets, societies, and modes of governance across a variety of public and private domains. While this has stimulated a rich body of empirical and practical expertise on compliance, thus far, there has been no comprehensive understanding of what compliance is or how it influences various fields and sectors. The academic knowledge of compliance has remained siloed along different disciplinary domains, regulatory and legal spheres, and mechanisms and interventions. This handbook bridges these divides to provide the first one-stop overview of what compliance is, how we can best study it, and the core mechanisms that shape it. Written by leading experts, chapters offer perspectives from across law, regulatory studies, management science, criminology, economics, sociology, and psychology. This volume is the definitive and comprehensive account of compliance.

Download or read book Compromising Compliance The IRS Offer in Compromise Program and Opportunities for Reform written by Joseph Dugan and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Internal Revenue Code section 7122 provides that “the Secretary may compromise any civil or criminal case arising under the internal revenue laws . . . .” This simple language supplies a statutory hook for the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS's) “Offer in Compromise” (OIC) program, one of the most important collection alternatives available for taxpayers who dispute an assessed liability or who acknowledge their debt but cannot afford to pay in full. Through the OIC program, the IRS aims to achieve collection at the earliest possible time and at the least cost to the Government while simultaneously creating for the taxpayer an expectation of a fresh start toward future tax compliance.Unfortunately, public perception may not correspond with the IRS's goals. A casual Internet search reveals dozens of websites promising to settle tax debts for pennies on the dollar, and “offer mills” across the nation promise a quick, cheap resolution and minimal contact with the IRS -- a “get-out-of-jail-free” card without further consequences. To date, the IRS has done relatively little to counter the offer-mill hype or take back the narrative.This paper argues that, with some careful adjustments, the OIC program could become a powerful compliance mechanism. The key is to treat the OIC process as an opportunity for robust taxpayer education. Drawing on the scholarly literature regarding compliance norms and on sociological research concerning poverty concentration, the paper proposes that an education-driven OIC model could transform taxpayer-offerors into ambassadors who promote norms of tax compliance in low-income communities where traditional IRS messaging has failed. The paper offers a five-part strategy, with a balance of “carrots and sticks,” to achieve this positive compliance outcome.

Download or read book But If Not written by Brian Bailie and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-01-12 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are perhaps the weakest generation of Christians the world has ever seen. And recent government restrictions that interfere with worship and fellowship have cause an acceleration of the falling away that is prophesied will happen prior to the last days. The challenges that the church is facing now is separating the wheat from the chaff; it is separating those who just admire Jesus from those who strive to follow him; it is separating those who would compromise and conform to the world from those who will stand and be persecuted for Christ's sake. This is not a book about end times prophesy. This is a book for now. This is written as an encouragement and an inspiration to Christians, to live not by lies, but to wake from complacency and recognise how the world has already infiltrated and influenced the church. This is a call to make a steadfast stand for Christ now, at the beginning of sorrows, before the real trials and tribulation begin. And they that shall endure to the end shall be saved.

This book was released on 2019-03-24 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Audits provide essential accountability and transparency over government programs. Given the current challenges facing governments and their programs, the oversight provided through auditing is more critical than ever. Government auditing provides the objective analysis and information needed to make the decisions necessary to help create a better future. The professional standards presented in this 2018 revision of Government Auditing Standards (known as the Yellow Book) provide a framework for performing high-quality audit work with competence, integrity, objectivity, and independence to provide accountability and to help improve government operations and services. These standards, commonly referred to as generally accepted government auditing standards (GAGAS), provide the foundation for government auditors to lead by example in the areas of independence, transparency, accountability, and quality through the audit process. This revision contains major changes from, and supersedes, the 2011 revision.

Download or read book Too Big to Jail written by Brandon L. Garrett and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2014-11-03 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American courts routinely hand down harsh sentences to individual convicts, but a very different standard of justice applies to corporations. Too Big to Jail takes readers into a complex, compromised world of backroom deals, for an unprecedented look at what happens when criminal charges are brought against a major company in the United States. Federal prosecutors benefit from expansive statutes that allow an entire firm to be held liable for a crime by a single employee. But when prosecutors target the Goliaths of the corporate world, they find themselves at a huge disadvantage. The government that bailed out corporations considered too economically important to fail also negotiates settlements permitting giant firms to avoid the consequences of criminal convictions. Presenting detailed data from more than a decade of federal cases, Brandon Garrett reveals a pattern of negotiation and settlement in which prosecutors demand admissions of wrongdoing, impose penalties, and require structural reforms. However, those reforms are usually vaguely defined. Many companies pay no criminal fine, and even the biggest blockbuster payments are often greatly reduced. While companies must cooperate in the investigations, high-level employees tend to get off scot-free. The practical reality is that when prosecutors face Hydra-headed corporate defendants prepared to spend hundreds of millions on lawyers, such agreements may be the only way to get any result at all. Too Big to Jail describes concrete ways to improve corporate law enforcement by insisting on more stringent prosecution agreements, ongoing judicial review, and greater transparency.

Download or read book The Detection of Foreign Bribery written by OECD and published by OECD Publishing. This book was released on 2017-12-12 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The OECD Anti-Bribery Convention focuses on enforcement through the criminalisation of foreign bribery but it is multidisciplinary and includes key requirements to combat money laundering, accounting fraud, and tax evasion connected to foreign bribery. The first step, however, in enforcing foreign bribery and related offences is effective detection. This study looks at the primary sources of detection for the foreign bribery offence and the role that certain public agencies and private sector actors can play in uncovering this crime. It examines the practices developed in different sectors and countries which have led to the successful detection of foreign bribery with a view to sharing good practices and improving countries’ capacity to detect and ultimately step-up efforts against transnational bribery. The study covers a wide range of potential sources for detecting foreign bribery: self-reporting; whistleblowers and whistleblower protection; confidential informants and cooperating witnesses; media and investigative journalism; tax authorities; financial intelligence units; other government agencies; criminal and other legal proceedings; international co-operation and professional advisers.

Download or read book A Time to Stir written by Paul Cronin and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2018-01-09 with total page 711 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For seven days in April 1968, students occupied five buildings on the campus of Columbia University to protest a planned gymnasium in a nearby Harlem park, links between the university and the Vietnam War, and what they saw as the university’s unresponsive attitude toward their concerns. Exhilarating to some and deeply troubling to others, the student protests paralyzed the university, grabbed the world’s attention, and inspired other uprisings. Fifty years after the events, A Time to Stir captures the reflections of those who participated in and witnessed the Columbia rebellion. With more than sixty essays from members of the Columbia chapter of Students for a Democratic Society, the Students’ Afro-American Society, faculty, undergraduates who opposed the protests, “outside agitators,” and members of the New York Police Department, A Time to Stir sheds light on the politics, passions, and ideals of the 1960s. Moving beyond accounts from the student movement’s white leadership, this book presents the perspectives of black students, who were grappling with their uneasy integration into a supposedly liberal campus, as well as the views of women, who began to question their second-class status within the protest movement and society at large. A Time to Stir also speaks to the complicated legacy of the uprising. For many, the events at Columbia inspired a lifelong dedication to social causes, while for others they signaled the beginning of the chaos that would soon engulf the left. Taken together, these reflections present a nuanced and moving portrait that reflects the sense of possibility and excess that characterized the 1960s.
