Guest post from Researcher Nick Hayes.

Chris and I recently published a report describing how to build risk and compliance principles into your company’s corporate culture. As we worked to finalize, edit, and publish the report, a flurry of new corporate scandals emerged, all related to this topic.

Here are just a few of them:

• Wal-Mart executives accused of trying to hush up bribery cases in Mexico (article here).
• A whistleblower accuses Infosys of engaging in a systematic practice of visa fraud (article here).
• A former Goldman Sachs employee writes an op-ed for the New York Times blasting the company’s ethics (article here).
• JP Morgan suffers a $2 billion trading loss due to “poorly monitored” trades (article here).
