Our series on big data and enforcement assesses how oceans of data will help and hamper the fight against corporate wrong-doing
The growth in volume and complexity of information available has had a tremendous impact on international commerce, and rapidly changing the way in which regulators and law enforcement conduct an investigation. For businesses, data provides significant commercial opportunities and the ability to reduce compliance costs through data analytics.
