I love the smart use of incentives this story highlights. But it doesn't go far enough: IRS and SEC agents should be allowed to audit any company with revenue over $5 million per annum - if the audit results in a fine of at least $500,000 then the agent gets a $100,000 bonus. Conversely if the audit doesn't result in a large fine, the agent has his or her bonus pool reduced by $10,000. This would provide a great incentive to weed out people who cheat the system.
