The Journal of Financial Crime has two new Manhattan University bylines, Amanda Sanseverino, Ph.D. and senior Daniela DePrizio. Together for a year and a half, the pair worked on their research pertaining to, “extraterritorial laws and the accounting profession.” The research focused on understanding the legal landscape related to corporate social responsibility issues, examining bribery and human rights issues like human slavery and their legal implications globally.

Additionally, they dove into the extra-territoriality of these laws and how different countries enforce them, with a particular emphasis on understanding the legal and social aspects of these complex international issues. Sanseverino, an accounting, computer information systems and law department professor, became interested in anticorruption research during her doctoral studies around 2017, when she discovered extraterritorial laws that applied to companies doing business in different countries. She was drawn to researching how these laws could help curb corporate misconduct, particularly bribery and corruption, by applying regulations to multinational companies

regardless of the location of their headquarters. Her initial research focused on the UK Bribery Act and its impact on U.S. companies’ operations in high-risk corruption countries. “[This research] is kind of a culmination of what I’ve been thinking about and trying to bring this more to light for accounting practitioners,” Sanseverino said. “Of course, not to suggest that people in the field have no clue what’s going on, but there are just so many, even indirect kinds of effects that [these laws] could have. So that’s where we landed, and it ended up working out really well.” DePrizio, an accounting and management student, __________________________ CONTINUED ON PAGE 3
On Sept. 16, Lieutenant Governor of New York Antonio Delgado made an appearance at Manhattan University, where he spoke to students and several faculty members about the importance of Constitution Day, as well as self-correction. The event was sponsored by the political science, international studies and history department. Delgado first ran for Congress in 2018 with no prior experience in electoral politics. He was initially elected to represent New York’s nineteenth district, where he served two terms. In 2022, Delgado was appointed as the lieutenant governor of New York. Delgado spoke about his upbringing, what’s brought him to where he is today and how it ties back to the Constitution. “The march towards perfecting our union is baked into the literal design of our founding document and we should never lose sight of that,” Delgado said. “We can tie that to personal narratives and how we all go about our own lives. I’ve had to do a lot of selfcorrections or amendments over time. We all do, and the moment you’re in right now in

life, I would argue, is probably one of the most instructive.” Delgado spoke about his background, coming from a middle class family, and later attending Colgate University to pursue a medical degree in hopes to please his father. He mentioned how selfcorrection is what allowed him to come to the realization that he did not want to be a doctor, and wanted to live life on his own terms instead. “I realized I needed to self-correct because I was not meant to be a doctor,” Delgado said. “I had a freshman seminar class that was called, ‘What is Real and What is True’. The professor changed my life. We wrestled with questions on faith, philosophy and power. I was hooked and could not get enough of it.” Delgado emphasized the importance of college students figuring out what they want to do for themselves, and staying true to their own personal identity. “The essence of college is figuring out who you are on your own accord, not divorcing yourself from your parents or your loved ones, but figuring out where you stand, separate and apart from them,” Delgado said. There’s so much change that happened during my time in college, more than any other __________________________ CONTINUED ON PAGE 3
