Traditionally, control in organizations is concerned with top-down
approaches, where executives attempt to direct their employees’
attention, behaviors, and performance to align with the
organization’s goals and objectives. This book takes a new approach
by turning the problem of control upside down as it focuses on control
of executives who find white-collar crime convenient. The bottom-up
approach to executive compliance focuses on organizational measures to
make white-collar crime less convenient for potential offenders.
Rather than focusing on the regulatory formalities and staged
procedures of compliance and audits, the book emphasizes the
organizational challenges involved in compliance work when trusted
corporate officials exhibit deviant behavior, refining, and advancing
knowledge in this field by reference to contemporary international
case studies and associated original evaluative research. The themes
and cases covered are carefully selected to provide the reader with an
insight into professional conduct and procedural practice – the
organization of corporate compliance success, failure, and corruption
– with the theory of convenience placed at the fore. It is the
bottom-up approach by application of convenience theory that makes the
proposed book unique compared to other books on corporate compliance.
This book is a valuable resource for scholars and upper-level students
researching and studying in the areas of business administration,
organizational behavior, corporate and white-collar crime, as well as
business ethics and auditing.
