Corporate Fraud
An interesting press release was sent to me about the increase in corporate fraud.
In today's climate - as companies begin to lay people off - there is definitely going to be a few disgruntled ex-employees about and it is quite a realistic situation that some of them may try and take revenge on their former employer.
After all - in a downturn like the one we are all now expecting - losing your job at a time of the soaring cost of living is not the best thing to happen and some people do end up in a desperate situation.
So I would agree with financial instutitions that are warning firms to take this matter seriously and not brush it under the carpet.
