Corporate Fraud

From Enron to WorldCom, corporate fraud continues to plague businesses and hurt consumers.

Corporate fraud includes criminal and civil violations relating to bribery, securities and commodities fraud, conspiracy, embezzlement, extortion, financial institution (bank) fraud, money laundering and tax offenses.

Corporate fraud schemes go beyond the scope of an employee's stated position, and are marked by their complexity and economic impact on the business, other employees and outside parties.


There are many types of corporate fraud, including the following:

• Falsification of corporate financial information, fraudulent accounting entries, bogus transactions designed to artificially inflate revenue, overstating assets, earnings, and profits, or understating/concealing liabilities and losses, and evasion of regulatory oversight.
  
  
• Self-dealing by corporate insiders including insider trading, kickbacks, misuse of corporate property for personal gain, and individual tax violations related to self-dealing

• Fraud in connection with mutual or hedge funds

• Misuse of accounts, payroll fraud, fraudulent expense claims, false employment credentials.

Corporate fraud can be difficult to prevent and to catch. It is considered a white collar crime.
