ABOUT:

Clause & Effect explores legal, business, and investigation topics related to global white-collar crime news. Though this publication is designed to appeal to a broad audience, its contents may appeal particularly to business leaders, legal and accounting professionals, auditors, and investigators of white-collar crimes. Ethical Edge PI & Corporate Advisors and the Exner Foundation for Canadian White-Collar Crime Awareness and Advocacy jointly power the Clause & Effect Blog.
