Economic Crime in an Economic Crisis
![]() |
Global economic crime survey 2009 Economic crime is a subject of global interest. Senior representatives of 3,037 companies in 55 countries, including respondents spread as far afield as Australia and Venezuela, completed our web based survey. One in 3 respondents reported economic crimes in their organisation in the last 12 months. We can see from the data that the incidence of economic crime varies by territory some countries, mainly those in emerging markets, had much higher levels of fraud than the average, as much as 70% in one country. No industry sector is immune from the threat of economic crime, but some sectors report more fraud than others financial services and communications reported the highest levels of fraud. |
