A Times article about an action by the Securities and Exchange Commission against the hedge fund manager Steven A. Cohen reports that earlier this year, Mr. Cohen increased the size of his firm's "compliance department by 25 percent, to about 40 employees. In 2008, by contrast, the firm had just 10 people in its compliance department."
That "just" is a way of sneaking a faintly disapproving opinion into a news article. Ten people sounds like a pretty large compliance department to me. It's not many people compared to 40, but it's large compared to zero, or five. The Times doesn't tell us how large the compliance departments are at other hedge funds with similar numbers of employees or dollars under management. Nor does it say whether there's any evidence of positive correlation between the size of a compliance department and how well a firm complies with the law.
