When Frances McLeod and Greg Mason need to find missing money or probe a company’s compliance programs, they construct and analyze large datasets of the company’s financial transactions. About 75 percent of their global forensic accounting business is driven by compliance and enforcement issues, particularly those related to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) — a priority area for U.S. regulators, and a top concern for general counsel.
