Why do people commit fraud? And how do they often get away with it?
Professor Clinton Free, of the Australian Graduate School of Management’s (AGSM) world-class MBA program has conducted research that has seen him interview inmates of US prisons convicted of insider trading, credit card fraud, money laundering and other financial crimes. His research has uncovered that lone-wolfs like the high-profile American Bernie Madoff may not be the ones we most have to watch out for. Instead, Professor Free argues that the extent of co-offending or collusion is higher than thought, with the vast majority of recent major frauds involving extensive collaboration between individuals.
Fraud has a greater economic impact on society than any other type of crime. It is very difficult to detect and can begin with someone spotting a single weakness within an organisation.
Join our webinar with Professor Free for an engaging look at collusion in white collar crime and hear from one of AGSM’s internationally renowned full-time MBA academics.
