As fraud cases continue to hit the headlines, what impact has the economic downturn had on fraud? We explore the true nature of fraud and economic crime - who’s committing it and who knows about it?

The 2009 Global Economic Crime Survey is the largest of its kind and provides an in-depth analysis from over 3000 respondents. Specific issues explored include:

• Are we experiencing a cappuccino crime-wave of middle management fraudsters?
• Is accounting fraud the spectre of the downturn?
• Is there a correlation between performance based pay and fraud?
• Survival, fear, performance, lifestyle maintenance; what really drives a fraudster?
• Bribery and corruption, an overseas issue only?
• Does the right "tone from the top" make a difference?
• How might the profile of fraud change in the future?
