Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book fills an essential gap in the existing literature by analyzing fraud, and the weakening of ethical relations as parts of an overall global process, in an interdisciplinary, international and multidimensional perspective. It provides an in-depth analysis of fraud in its multiple facets, including financial fraud (most notably related to banking), fiscal/tax fraud (tax compliance and the role of government in the process), and academic fraud (exams misconduct and plagiarism). It also presents a set of methods and empirical evidence on the prevention and combating of fraud in distinct settings, such as money laundering, fraudulent investments schemes, and public procurement mismanagement, and economies, including Brazil, Canada, France, and Portugal.
