Study

In recent years new statutory and common law fraud actions have filled the courts and the news. Corporate fraud constitutes an increasing concern and target for litigation and enforcement actions. New definitions, procedures and enforcement mechanisms have changed the face of fraud investigation and prosecution. This Course will cover traditional areas of fraud investigation and prosecution along with emerging statutory and common law fraud issues. It will consider both academic and practical aspects on the definition, identification, and redress of fraud and fraud-related issues, including federal bank, bankruptcy, tax and securities fraud provisions, Sarbanes-Oxley issues, FDIC fraud regulations and enforcement, wire fraud, mail fraud, false federal claims, and other statutory fraud provisions. It will also cover practical issues of cooperation with government inquiry and their limits, privilege and work product and their waiver.
