From the Paper:
"The twentieth and twenty-first centuries have been filled with cases of corporate fraud, which led to millions of people being negatively affected. Some of the most notorious such situations were encountered at Enron, WorldCom and more recently, Societe Generale. The contemporaneous financial crisis, present at an international level, is increasing the pressure upon corporate players and the temptations to become engaged in illicit actions in order to salvage the company. The means of conducting such operations have become improved throughout the years, and when combined with the still ambiguous legislation, generate a need for more efficient standards to regulate corporate governance..."Sample of Sources Used:
