Abstract
White-collar crime, fraud, corruption and the stewardship of private and public sector
organisations have, rarely had a higher profile. Fraud, corruption or indeed any dishonest act
reflects adversely on the agency and often on the integrity of the corporate or public sector
in general.
The damage to confidence, reputation and image that fraudulent activity can inflict often far
exceeds the significance or value of the act itself and when it is exposed in a public sector
organisation, be it government agency or local authority, it is often taken by the media and
the public as evidence of general weakness or inefficiency. This is probably even more so
with non-profit community organisations.
