Corporate Misconduct and White Collar Crime in Australia has been developed as the authors saw a need for a text that focuses on regulatory enforcement, including white collar crime, across areas of regulation. The Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry has placed a renewed focus on the choice of tools utilised by regulators and has resulted in a greater focus on litigation-based enforcement (criminal and civil penalty). As a result the Australian legal market will see major growth in the area of regulatory enforcement and white collar crime. The increase in regulatory enforcement, especially through criminal prosecutions, by a number of regulators including ASIC, AUSTRAC and the ACCC has created a need for a text around the relevant investigatory powers and litigation procedures. Effective regulation, including in areas such as competition law, securities, financial services, bribery and anti-money laundering, requires the availability and use of various enforcement tools and techniques. |
