"The threat of fraud- from apparently simple cases of bribery to complex financial misrepresentation - is more prominent than ever on the agendas of company directors and financial regulators. But executives have had little hard evidence to assess the scale of the problem they face. How prevalent is fraud? What is its real damage? Who perpetrates it? And are there really any effective ways of mitigating its risk? PwC's third biennial Economic Crime Survey is based on interviews with more than 3,600 senior executives in 34 countries, and reveals their experiences with fraud, its causes and losses, their responses and recovery actions and the effectiveness of fraud prevention measures.'"
