Abstract
Corporate crime includes that committed against corporations by officers, directors and employees (fraud, theft, embezzlement, corruption); that committed against corporations by external forces (robbery, burglary, larceny, piracy); and that committed for corporations by internal forces (regulatory noncompliance, tax evasion, bribery, false financial statements). Not a legal reference for preparing cases, the book is intended as a guide when corporations need to prevent, detect or investigate suspected crimes against themselves. The book discusses, among other subjects: (1) corporate fraud detection; (2) lying, cheating and stealing; (3) indicators and legal language of fraud, how to report fraud; (4) common thievery schemes of the working person; (5) how to detect embezzlement; (6) investigating crimes for and against the corporation; (7) financial crimes law; (8) internal controls and safeguards; (9) information access and control strategies; and (10) legal issues for corporate investigations.
