Investigation reports are written by fraud examiners after completion
of internal reviews in client organizations when there was suspicion
of financial wrongdoing. Fraud examiners are expected to answer
questions regarding what happened, when it happened, how it happened,
and why. This book presents a number of case studies of investigation
reports by fraud examiners, offering a framework for studying the
report as well as insights into convenience of fraud. The case
studies, including KPMG and PwC, focus on two important subjects.
First, convenience themes are identified for each case. Themes derive
from the theory of convenience, where fraud is a result of financial
motives, organizational opportunities, and personal willingness for
deviant behaviors. Second, review maturity is identified for each
case. Review maturity derives from a stages-of-growth model, where the
investigation is assigned a level of maturity based on explicit
criteria. The book provides useful insights towards approaching fraud
examinations to enable better understanding of the rational
explanations for corporate fraud. The book is framed from the
perspective of private policing, which contextualizes how
investigation reports are examined. This book is a valuable resource
for scholars and upper-level students researching and studying
auditing and investigation work in the corporate and public sectors.
Business and management as well as criminal justice scholars and
students will learn from the case studies how to frame a white-collar
crime incident by application of convenience theory and how to
evaluate a completed internal investigation by fraud examiners.
