Mitigating the Impact of White-Collar Crime as a Result of the Wolf of Wall Street Scandal Case and Regulatory Reforms
Committee Topics
The wolf of wall street debacle has uncovered the disastrous consequences of white-collar crimes on the global economy, eating away investor trust, thus showing the need for a strong regulatory regime. In light of this, the committee should establish policies that will keep us from repeating such scandals, tighten financial controls and bring those responsible for them to book thereby rebuilding confidence within the international money system.
