Economic Crime

“Almost half (49%) of all companies in Germany suffer damage through embezzlement, corruption, product piracy or other forms of economic crime“. 43% of companies worldwide  reported to have suffered at least one case within the last two years (2005-2007), in some regions it was every second company. In Germany, the number of affected companies remained with 49% at an unchanging high level based on a study of 2005 (46%).  The total damage caused to German companies by revealed offences alone is projected to reach an amount of over six billion euros a year.”
From “Wirtschaftskriminalität 2007“ (Economic Crime 2007), International and German findings, a study by PriceWaterhouseCoopers and Martin Luther University, Halle

The identifying and investigation of criminality within companies is mainly directed at minimising risk to the company and aiding the implementation of preventative measures.
