OREANDA-NEWS. September 02, 2015. We are pleased to announce the launch of the 2016 PwC Global Economic Crime Survey.  Since its inception in 2001 the biennial survey has been one of the premier thought leadership publications on economic crime and we are excited to continue this important work.

This is an online survey and will take 20-25 minutes to complete depending on the answers you select., if you would like to take part please complete the survey as soon as possible and before the final deadline of September 16, 2015.

All responses will be treated as strictly confidential.  This means that all survey data will be separated from the company name and responses will be associated only with your industry, company size, and other demographic data. No references to individual companies will be made in the results or analysis of the survey data.

The aim of this survey is to assess corporate attitudes to fraud in the current economic environment, and particularly to understand how organizations are responding to incidents of cybercrime-related fraud, the prevalence of bribery/corruption and money laundering and the effect these are having on organizations’ business ethics and compliance programs, and what types of fraud are most common.

Your participation will play a role in establishing the extent of economic crime in business and help develop the means to mitigate its risk.

In case you have any questions regarding the survey, please contact the PwC Global Economic Crime Survey Project Manager, Moazam Fakey (moazam.fakey@za.pwc.com), or the PwC Forensic Services Leader Luxembourg, Michael Weis (michael.weis@lu.pwc.com). For any technical difficulties experienced accessing or completing the survey, please contact GECSresearch@uk.pwc.com.

The results of the survey will be published in February 2016. Please visit http://www.pwc.com/crimesurvey at that time for further information.
