In this new season of Adventures in Compliance, host Tom Fox takes a deep dive into the Sherlock Holmes novels. Over the course of this season, Tom Fox will take a deep dive into each novel in a four-part series. The four novels we will consider from the ethics and compliance perspective are A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of Four, The Hound of the Baskervilles, and The Valley of Fear. For the month of July, we are considering lessons from The Hound of the Baskervilles. Today, Timothy and Fiona are back to consider the pre- and post-acquisition M&A lessons from the novel.
This episode explores the fascinating parallels between Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s ‘The Hound of the Baskervilles‘ and modern corporate compliance. By examining Sherlock Holmes’ meticulous investigative methods, we gain critical insights into due diligence, compliance integration, and forensic investigations. Discover how to apply Sherlockian principles to proactively prevent corruption, foster an ethical corporate environment, and transform potential liabilities into assets. We break down these ideas into three stages: pre-acquisition due diligence, post-acquisition training and integration, and the handling of forensic investigations when issues arise.
Highlights include:
• Pre-Acquisition Due Diligence: The Sherlockian Approach
• Post-Acquisition Integration: Building a Baskerville Hall of Compliance
• Forensic Investigations: Swift and Evidence-Based Responses
• Conclusion: Applying Sherlockian Insights to Modern Compliance See less -
