Vaikka lainsäädäntöä on pyritty uudistamaan ja hallintorakenteita implementoimaan kohti läpinäkyvämpää toimintaa, taloudelliset väärinkäytökset ovat kasvaneet finanssikriisin aikana ja sen jälkeen uusiin mittakaavoihin. Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena on selvittää taloudellisen väärinkäytöskolmion elementtien yhteys taloudellisiin väärinkäytöksiin sekä päivittää aikaisemmin 2000- luvulla tehtyjä tutkimuksia. Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitetään, voidaanko Cresseyn 1950- luvulla luoman taloudellisen väärinkäytöskolmion avulla havaita ja ennustaa taloudellisia väärinkäytöksiä. Tutkimusasetelma luotiin siten, että Yhdysvaltojen arvopaperimarkkinoita valvovan elimen, Securities and Exchange Commissionin, verkkosivuilta etsittiin vuosina 2015−2019 julkaistut mediatiedotteet taloudellisista väärinkäytöksistä ja niitä tehneistä yhtiöistä. Havaituille väärinkäytösyhtiöille etsittiin satunaisesti vertailuyhtiö yhtiön kokoon perustuen. Tutkimus

    AT A LONG STRANGE TRIP IT'S BEEN: THE HISTORY OF ONLINE SEARCHING by Matt Hannigan, lndianapolis-Mmion Cotm[Y Public Library N THE BEGINNING You can't miss the timeline that runs through this article. What I find remarkable is how fast all of this When the editor asked me to write this stuff occurred. I sometimes feel like one of those history of the last twenty years of cartoon characters who is left standing in his union suit searching it wasn't because I'm the senior statesperson after being whirled about in the dust of the Road of online in Indiana. That title rightly belongs to Ann Runner or Speedy Gonzalez. Van Camp (formerly of the IU Medical Library, now an independent searcher). Nor am I the intellectual When I first started my career in libraries back in backbone of Indiana's online community. That honor 1978, a young scholar would drive to the library, find a goes to Becki Whitaker of the Indiana Cooperative parking space, locate the proper division, find a Library Services Authority (INCOLSA) . Becki is online's periodical index, guess at a subject and finally identify nearest approximation to Star Trek's Mr. Speck. My and locate an article on the history of the Punic War. role has been more like that of Forrest Gump or Jar Jar These days the same young student jumps out of bed, Binks - I just happened to be along for the ride. Arid logs onto the Net, types some keywords into an EBSCO what a ride it has been!

The Lawyer as Truth-Teller: Lessons From Enron Thomas G. Bost* I. THE "CODE" The teaching and practice of law assume and are shaped by, in Joseph Allegretti's words, the "standard vision" of lawyer conduct and ethical responsibility.' Under the standard vision, which is reflected in the various codes of professional responsibility governing lawyers, the lawyer is a "neutral partisan" for his or her client: "neutral" in that he does not let his moral values affect his actions on behalf of his client; "partisan" in that she does whatever she can within the limits of the law to advance her client's stated interests. Because the standard vision is readily understood by most lawyers as imposing a code of conduct upon them in their practice of law, Allegretti calls the standard vision the "Code.",2 Although the Code is not codified per se, it is reflected in the Constitution, with its guarantees of trial by jury and assistance of legal counsel, in our judicial system, which is primarily adversarial rather than inquisitorial, and in the various codes of ethics governing lawyer behavior.

Liquid Assets: Enron's Dip into Water Business Highlights Pitfalls of Privatization Executive Summary The story of Enron Corp.’s failed venture into the water business serves as a cautionary tale for consumers and policymakers about the dangers of turning publicly operated water systems and resources over to private corporations and creating a private “market” system in which water can be traded as a commodity, as Enron did with electricity and tried to do with water. Enron’s water investments, which contributed to the company’s spectacular collapse, would not have been permitted had the Public Utility Holding Company Act (PUHCA) been properly enforced and not continually weakened by the deregulation initiatives advocated by Enron and other energy companies.

  • The Great Telecom Meltdown
    4 The Internet Boom and the Limits to Growth Nothing says “meltdown” quite like “Internet.” For although the boom and crash cycle had many things feeding it, the Internet was at its heart. The Internet created demand for telecommunications; along the way, it helped create an expectation of demand that did not materialize. The Internet’s commercializa- tion and rapid growth led to a supply of “dotcom” vendors; that led to an expec- tation of customers that did not materialize. But the Internet itself was not at fault. The Internet, after all, was not one thing at all; as its name implies, it was a concatenation [1] of networks, under separate ownership, connected by an understanding that each was more valuable because it was able to connect to the others. That value was not reduced by the mere fact that many people overesti- mated it. The ARPAnet Was a Seminal Research Network The origins of the Internet are usually traced to the ARPAnet, an experimental network created by the Advanced Research Projects Agency, a unit of the U.S. Department of Defense, in conjunction with academic and commercial contrac- tors. The ARPAnet began as a small research project in the 1960s. It was pio- neering packet-switching technology, the sending of blocks of data between computers. The telephone network was well established and improving rapidly, though by today’s standards it was rather primitive—digital transmission and switching were yet to come. But the telephone network was not well suited to the bursty nature of data. 57 58 The Great Telecom Meltdown A number of individuals and companies played a crucial role in the ARPAnet’s early days [2].
