Linkage Projects - Grant ID: LP160101717

Funded Activity Summary

Serious workplace fraud: How it is sustained and how organisations respond. This project aims to develop knowledge on how serious workplace fraud is sustained by offenders, particularly through thinking patterns and coping mechanisms, and responded to by organisations that are dealing with offenders and modifying control system deficiencies. The project will be a qualitative study, drawing evidence from interviews, with offenders, and with victim organisation representatives, and triangulated with available secondary materials such as court reports, media coverage, and internal memoranda and presentations. The project will add to expert knowledge in forensic accounting by developing new typologies of fraud enablers and management control responses, which aim to advance best practice in mitigating serious workplace fraud. The knowledge generated will advance anti-fraud training, forensic accounting, management control system design and standard setting.
