In my interactions with the corporate compliance community, I have found a common lack of appreciation and vast under-utilization of data. When I speak with compliance education programs in both academic and professional settings, my questions on how they teach the use of data is most often met with blank stares. I believe this data gap is an unfortunate disservice to the compliance profession: just as surely as it would have been to ignore the power of computer technology decades ago. The Fraud Section’s establishment of the Data Analytics Team is a recognition that data science is here to stay in the world of white collar enforcement. The only question is whether the world of corporate compliance can catch up?
