CORPORATE OSINT Due Diligence, Fraud Prevention, and Crypto Asset Investigation: 2nd REVISED AND EXPANDED EDITION

Principles of Auditing & Other Assurance Services: 2027 Release

Materialising the Digital

This book explores blockchain technologies and cryptocurrencies to develop an infrastructural theory of money, and it demonstrates how payment infrastructures provide an analytical site where social studies of money and finance and science and technology studies can be fruitfully combined. The book utilises the blockchain and interoperability firm Ripple as a 'revelatory case' for investigating the entanglements of materiality, desire, space, and power that pervade all of money's infrastructures in cross-border payments and remittances. First, money's infrastructures have material dispositions: they enable and hinder users' behaviours, and unevenly distribute resources among users. Second, money's infrastructures have spatial dispositions: they produce and inhabit spatialities and chrono-topologies that take four forms - pyramids, rhizomes, platforms, stacks. Third, money's infrastructures have libidinal dispositions: money as infrastructure is shown to be shaped significantly by enchantment and desires. Fourth, money's infrastructures have political-economic dispositions, between seamless interoperability and transaction- and friction-replete platformisation.

An ecology of materiality, space, desires, and power

Money’s infrastructures

“As gripping and important as Patrick Radden Keefe’s Empire of Pain and Gardiner Harris’ No More Tears, The Pain Brokers is a righteous bolt of reportage worthy of acclaim.” —Booklist, starred review Selling the Dream meets Empire of Pain in this shocking, never-told-before story of three women caught in a web of telemarketing scammers, shady doctors, and profit-hungry lawyers who turned fears surrounding a faulty medical device affecting millions of women into a goldmine. For decades, late-night television has blared a familiar refrain: If you or a loved one has been injured by X product… But behind those ads lies a lesser-known world where elaborate scams revictimize the injured. Why else would thousands of women with health insurance take out loans with astronomical interest rates and fly to south Florida to have their pelvic mesh surgically removed at a chiropractor’s clinic? The Pain Brokers, by law professor Elizabeth Burch, is a “pulse-pounding legal thriller” (Eric Eyre, Pulitzer Prize winner) and damning investigation of a scheme made possible by a medical and legal complex that too often views women’s bodies as cash machines and fails to take their pain seriously. As Burch unfurls each level to the scheme, we meet an enthralling cast of characters, from a world class scam artist who reaped tens of millions of dollars at a south Florida call center, to the ultimate white shoe power lawyer who defended Big Pharma but became an unlikely hero, to a newly minted small-town Arkansas attorney who advocated for the unseen and unheard. But at the center are three women, Jerri, Barb, and Sharon, whose lives were upended by the very procedure they were told would save them. A page-turning, urgently necessary work of public service journalism, The Pain Brokers is not only a chilling exposé of a legal system gone awry, but a wake-up call to the ways in which it harms those it is meant to help.

The Pain Brokers

This landmark collection provides new insights, concepts and techniques to understand and respond to tort claims based on illegal conduct. It is the first comparative study of this difficult field, which has remained contested despite numerous decisions of the highest courts in the common law world. The collection draws on scholars from common law and civilian jurisdictions spanning Argentina, Australia, Brazil, England and Wales, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Scotland, Singapore, Spain, South Africa and Sweden. Together they set out fact patterns, and justifications for tort liability to illustrate the coherence and unity that exists when courts address such claims. While common law legal systems have developed a specific defence of illegality for some of those fact patterns, civilian jurisdictions tend to see illegality operating, if at all, through the existing components of tort liability. The book explains how these different approaches have been reached, how they work, and what they reveal about reasoning in tort.

Routledge Studies in Accounting

Generative and agentic AI are transforming accounting, not just by automating routine tasks, but by reshaping the structure and strategy of roles, teams, and decisionmaking across the profession.This book explores how these rapidly evolving technologies are already being applied in audits, financial reporting, advisory services, and internal controls. It offers a clear, nontechnical overview of large language models (LLMs), generative and agentic AI systems, alongside practice- based insights into adoption trends, implementation strategies, and evolving governance practices. Readers will gain practical tools to evaluate risk, ethical considerations, talent readiness, and organizational fit. The book also examines where these technologies create value, how to implement them responsibly, and what educators must do to prepare the next generation of accountants. It concludes with a forward- looking discussion on how the profession can lead, rather than simply react to this era of AI- driven change.Drawing on emerging research, professional practice insights, and interviews with firm leaders, the book translates complex developments into actionable frameworks. It bridges the gap between innovation and daily practice through realworld use cases, ethical risk analysis, and attention to the shifting priorities of practitioners, firms, educators, researchers, and regulators.Concise, timely, and practical, this guide is written for a profession in the midst of rapid transformation. It is designed to be accessible for practitioners while serving as a strategic resource for educators and firm leaders shaping the accounting workforce for the next decade. Cory Ng is an Associate Teaching Professor in the Accounting and Information Systems Department, Villanova School of Business, Villanova University, Pennsylvania, USA. Eric E. Cohen is Chief AI Officer at Cohen Computer Consulting, Pennsylvania, USA.

Generative AI and Agentic Systems in Accounting

In 2008, the mysterious figure Satoshi Nakamoto introduced Bitcoin, a decentralized digital currency, then vanished without a trace. As Bitcoin grew into a global financial phenomenon, Nakamoto's true identity became one of the greatest modern mysteries. In this compelling investigative work, journalist Benjamin Wallace traces Nakamoto's origins and explores the gap between Bitcoin's libertarian ideals and its current controversial status. Traveling across the globe and analyzing a cast of potential creators--from cryptographers to NSA teams--Wallace delivers a gripping narrative that delves deep into one of the most important technological enigmas of the 21st century.

Turning Life’s Deficiencies into Unique Value Propositions

One Line at a Time

This book brings together leading scholars from private law and employment law to reflect upon private law doctrines as they relate to the employment contract. Developing an interdisciplinary dialogue, these contributions explore the regulatory functions of private law doctrines at the cutting edge of modern employment law. Topics include the potential and limitations of private law damages; the role of injunctions and specific performance; the interactions between express and implied terms; vicarious liability; substantial performance and breach; and the common law right to work. The integration of scholarly perspectives from the realms of private law and employment law enriches and deepens our understanding of core private law doctrines. Historically, employment law was defined in terms of its autonomy from general private law. This achievement of autonomy was highly prized, and considered necessary to facilitate industrial freedoms for trade unions and the protection of employees from exploitation. But the contractual basis of employment means that any such autonomy has always been partial and unstable. Furthermore, as trade unions have declined and governments have deregulated statutory employment rights, private law has assumed growing practical importance in strategic appellate litigation. In many common law jurisdictions, private law doctrines have become the new battleground between employers, workers and trade unions. The essays in this book examine specific doctrinal issues against this dynamic backdrop of changing social, economic and constitutional conditions. While focused mainly on English law, the essays also consider examples from other jurisdictions including Australia and Scotland. As private law becomes the default regulation for most employment contracts in 21st-century labour markets across the world, this book is an essential resource for practitioners, judges, academics and students.

Cash is Trash

Tort law refers to the system of laws governing civil wrongdoing. The bedrock for vital government functions, it is most visible during legal disputes related to common activities, like driving a car and receiving medical care. It's quotidian nature makes tort a useful entry point for assessing Americans' perceptions of today's "post-truth" political landscape. Sensationalized accounts of these encounters with the law reflect broader opinions about the state and each other, across the political spectrum. Conservatives, for example, exaggerate the prevalence of frivolous claims, while liberals describe the role of tort as holding reckless corporations accountable. &nbsp;&nbsp;In this book, the authors map these debates onto the mythology of rugged American individualism, which privileges both stoic self-reliance and standing up to powerful interests. They explore attitudes towards claimants and claims in three policy areas: medical malpractice, auto collisions, and premises liability. <the rugged="" litigant="" deftly="" weaves="" a="" story="" of="" complex="" and="" layered="" preferences="" that="" defy="" conventional="" accounts="" culture="" wars,="" ultimately,="" display="" shocking="" degree="" consensus:="" people="" believe="" litigation="" should="" be="" an="" option="" -="" when="" used="" as="" last="" resort.="" these="" findings="" offer="" novel="" roadmap="" for="" countering="" the="" seemingly="" intractable="" polarization="" in="" today&#39;s="" politics.="" <="" p=""></the>
