Global Economic Crime Survey 2007

PricewaterhouseCoopers’ Forensic Services team is delighted to present the Global Economic Crime Survey 2007.

• 47% of Czech companies feel they have lost a business opportunity to a competitor whom they believe may have paid a bribe.
• 35% of Czech companies have lost over CZK 5 million because of fraud.
• For Czech companies, the average direct financial damage resulting from fraud was USD 1.7 million (34 million CZK).
• 60% of fraud cases in the country show serious flaws in corporate culture (e.g. low commitment to employer, unclear corporate ethics).
  
  
  
  

This biennial survey of 5,400 global companies (including 79 leading companies in the Czech Republic) is the most comprehensive study of economic crime of its kind. We examined economic crime in companies, including asset misappropriation, accounting fraud, bribery and corruption, money laundering, intellectual property infringement and other types of fraud.
