Wirtschaftskriminalitat ist eine ernstzunehmende und oft noch unterschatzte komplexe Bedrohung fur viele Unternehmen in der globalisierten Wirtschaftswelt. Oft werden insbesondere die Risiken aus der wachsenden Computerkriminalitat und der Wirtschaftsspionage unterschatzt. Das Kompendium zeigt ausgehend von authentischen Fallen aktuelle Begehensweisen ebenso auf, wie die typische wirtschaftskriminelle Basismethodik, deren Kenntnis wichtig ist, um die standig neu variierten Angriffsmethoden zu erkennen. Insbesondere wird praxisnah aufgezeigt, wie sich Unternehmen vor allem durch wirksame Sensibilisierungs- und Kontrollmassnahmen sowie eine effiziente Interne Revision vor Wirtschaftskriminalitat in unterschiedlichen internen und externen Auspragungsformen schutzen koennen.

Der anhaltende Strukturwandel in der Landwirtschaft hat insbesondere in dem vergangenen Jahrzehnt zu einer VerAnderung des agrarpolitischen Leitbildes gefA1/4hrt.

Diese Entwicklung wird durch die haushaltspolitischen ZwAnge sowie den handelspolitischen Druck im Rahmen der WTO noch verstArkt. Vor diesem Hintergrund A1/4berprA1/4ft der Autor, ob das nach wie vor zur Anwendung kommende Agrarsonderrecht obsolet geworden oder aufgrund seiner Aoebereinstimmung mit dem fA1/4r die Unternehmen der A1/4brigen Wirtschaftsbereiche geltenden Recht durch diese zu ersetzen ist.

Regulation and Deregulation is a revised version of papers presented at the Oxford Law Colloquium held at St John's College, Oxford, in March 1998. The Colloquium, organised by the Norton Rose M5 Group and the Faculty of Law of the University of Oxford, provided a meeting place for discussion between practitioners and academics interested in regulation. This book makes available to a wider audience the fruits of those discussions. Current themes in the debate about how best to regulate are explored, concentrating in particular on the regulation of utilities and of the banking and financial services industry. Regulation and deregulation are of considerable, and increasing, importance in Britain and the wider world. This stimulating book will be welcomed by practising and academic lawyers in the regulations field, especially those concerned with the books particular areas of focus.

This book explains how the self regulatory system for U.S. securities firms works with three tiers of supervision. Overseeing the whole system is the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which directly supervises the self-regulatory organizations such as the New York Stock Exchange and the National Association of Securities Dealers. In turn, these self-regulatory organizations oversee the broker-dealers who conduct the daily business of buying and selling securities. The system relies heavily on the firms' internal supervisory systems to prevent violations of securities laws, since they are in the best position to track their own internal activities. Firms may be fined, or subject to even more stringent penalties, if their supervisory systems fail. This book is an in-depth examination of how this regulatory system works, the types of regulatory problems with which broker-dealer firms must deal, why some firms have more problems than others, and what the experience with the system suggests about ways of improving self regulatory systems generally.

Fully updated by a team of expert practitioners, this third edition of European Securities Law continues to provide a comprehensive source of knowledge, and practical know-how, about the regulation and operation of the securities markets in Europe. The opening of the work provides the reader with a critical overview of the European legislative process and regulatory framework in the context of public and private capital-raising activities (equity and debt), trading activities, takeovers of publicly traded companies, and the associated liabilities. The implications of the recent EU Prospectus Regulation and the EU Market Abuse Regulation are discussed, as well as the Transparency Directive, the Takeover Directive and the MiFID regimes. Particular considerations for non-EU issuers are also considered, including the position of the UK following Brexit. Part II examines the practicalities of planning and conducting the most common types of transactions under the applicable regulation, highlighting the ways in which key issues, concerns and uncertainties are dealt with by experienced professionals. Key elements of the processes of selected EU Member States are discussed throughout, and a useful chart outlines the process involved in passporting a prospectus into different EU Member States. Part II also features a chapter new to this edition, covering the ongoing development of the high yield bond market in Europe. In Part III, a country-by-country analysis covers specific issues that arise in eleven of the most significant EU Member States (and the United Kingdom) exploring matters of national legislation as well as interpretation and implementation of EU legislation by those EU Member States. The UK chapter considers the implications of Brexit for market players in the United Kingdom and Europe. This work is an essential resource for all lawyers advising on securities transactions and financial and securities laws, whether for clients based in Europe or for non-EU issuers in Europe.

A team of scholars with backgrounds in criminology, sociology, economics, business, government regulation, and law examine the historical, social, and cultural causes of the 2008 economic crisis. Essays probe the workings of the toxic subprime loan industry, the role of external auditors, the consequences of Wall Street deregulation, the manipulations of alpha hedge fund managers, and the "Ponzi-like" culture of contemporary capitalism. They unravel modern finance's complex schematics and highlight their susceptibility to corruption, fraud, and outright racketeering. They examine the involvement of enablers, including accountants, lawyers, credit rating agencies, and regulatory workers, who failed to protect the public interest and enforce existing checks and balances. While the United States was "ground zero" of the meltdown, the financial crimes of other countries intensified the disaster. Internationally-focused essays consider bad practices in China and the European property markets and draw attention to the far-reaching consequences of transnational money laundering and tax evasion schemes. By approaching the 2008 crisis from the perspective of white collar criminology, contributors build a more general understanding of the collapse and crystallize the multiple human and institutional factors preventing capture of even the worst offenders.
