Fraud and Corruption in Public Services

A Guide to Risk and Prevention

Beschreibung

Public sector fraud seems on the increase in all forms and countries. Part of this may be the impact of technology and the increased sophistication of organized crime; part of it may be a reflection of the increased transparency in the media. Fraud and Corruption in Public Services is a definitive, practical guide to the diverse sources of risk. There is a guidance on civil and criminal law as well as the national and international governmental measures and initiatives for countering this form of criminality. Most importantly of all, the book offers advice, examples and strategy both for preventing and combating fraud and corruption. The text is readable, well-informed and intensely practical; illustrated throughout with examples from the author's thirty year career.
