Kroll Global Fraud Report - 2009/2010 Edition

The global financial services industry saw a dramatic spike in fraud activity with companies losing an average of $15.2 million over the past three years, according to the 2009/2010 Annual Edition of Kroll's Global Fraud Report. Despite sector-specific spikes and declines in fraud activity, the worldwide fraud rate remained steady in 2009. Companies lost an average $8.8 million to fraud over the past three years, an increase of seven percent over last year’s figure which stood at $8.2 million. The findings are the result of a survey Kroll commissioned from the Economist Intelligence Unit of more than 700 senior executives worldwide.
