How Yates Has Impacted Corporate Responses

Fraud—“Any Everyone has seen news headlines when someone is caught in a multi-million dollar scam. The public takes note when the government spends $400 on a single hammer or $660 on a toilet seat.[4] But what about Joe M. Ployee who takes a few pens or pencils or other office supplies home from his job at the Department of Labor? Or the city engineer who runs personal errand in his government vehicle during work hours? It is possible that these employees didn’t know they were committing FWA. Education about these transgressions must be an essential part of any training for public employees, elected, appointed or hired.

4.) Employee Compliance to the Code: The entire staff is expected to be compliant to the rules and regulations set forth by Company X. Reported accounts of non-compliance will lead to an internal investigation of both the accuser as well as the accused; disciplinary action will necessarily follow if company rules and regulations have not been adhered to or improperly dismissed. Granted that there are many different situations that could arise in which one would believe unethical behavior or misconduct transpired; therefore, it is suggested that first the issue in question is evaluated before presenting to one’s direct

* The charges against Williams included that she lied to investigators, tyrannical behavior, especially in running her drug court. Williams had imposed indefinite jail terms on drug defendants, deprived some of contact with their lawyers and jailed one man 14 days for questioning a positive drug test. The commission also accused Williams of giving favorable treatment to family members of friends and those of high social standing. She was also accused of nepotism for allowing family members to practice before her. In one case, Williams warned parties they would be subject to contempt should they fail to pay a $1000 fee to her daughter within 30 days. Other charges include ordering that a

In September 2005, a former senior executive from Wal-Mart de Mexico sent an email to a high-ranking Wal-Mart lawyer, referencing on how Wal-Mart de Mexico had bribed foreign officials to expedite permits to win market control in Mexico. The emails and subsequent conversations gave specific names, dates and bribe amounts. Wal-Mart followed up with an internal investigation and eventually found a paper trail of suspect payments. In addition, they found documentation implicating that, not only did the top Wal-Mart de Mexico executives know about the payments, but they had also taken pre-cautions to hide them. The lead investigator documented the findings by stating

According to Benston (1977) an unaware public pays for government-required accounting disclosure. Sunstein (1999) claims that disclosure of information allows the federal government to control public and private conduct. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Over the decades accounting regulations have come from various sources. The Securities and Exchange Commission as well as the Internal Revenue Service and Interstate Commerce Commission are examples of regulatory bodies that promulgate accounting regulations. A more recent example occurred during the 1970s. During the Watergate era there were a number of investigations, some of which affected American business. One of the investigations, conducted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in 1975, revealed that 19 publiclyheld corporations had made illegal campaign contributions and that these contributions were made from cash accounts that had not been recorded on the corporation’s books. (Heldack, 1977) This prompted the SEC to launch an investigation into what were considered ―questionable payments.‖ What came out of the investigation was that many U.S. multinational corporations were making hundreds of millions of dollars in ―questionable payments‖ to foreign officials to obtain business. As a result, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) was unanimously adopted by Congress in 1977. Bribery of foreign officials to obtain business for the corporation

Organizational deviance and termination and interagency collaboration The readings for this week focused on how organizations can be deviant and ultimately terminated. It also focused on interagency collaboration in the criminal justice system. Section four’s central premise was organizational deviance and termination. The section started off by giving the readers a highlight of a particular case in 2003. Josiah Sutton was convicted to a 25 year prison sentence after being identified as the perpetrator for a rape. There was plenty of evidence against him, which ultimately led to his conviction. However, it was stated that “Sutton’s conviction demonstrates that multiple organizations failed to operate according to their intended goals” (Giblin, 2014, 130). The court system, the crime lab and the witness eye testimonies were all inconclusive and did not match up. For example, the offenders were described one way but Sutton was not remotely similar to the description. Later, DNA that was recovered was concluded that it could not have been his. After serving some of his prison sentence, Sutton was finally released. This is a great example of organizational failure and deviance.
