The Privatization of Fraud Investigation: Internal Investigations by Fraud Examiners explores the evolving landscape of law enforcement through the lens of suspected corporate crime. Author Petter Gottschalk delves into the growing business of global auditing and local law firms conducting internal investigations for client organizations under suspicion of white-collar misconduct. This book offers a critical evaluation of these private fraud examiners’ investigative reports, providing an original theoretical framework that explains motives, opportunities, and the willingness to commit and conceal such crimes through the concept of “convenience.” Structured to serve as both a comprehensive guide and a nonsequential reference source, it illustrates the practice of privatization in crime investigation with detailed case studies. The text also presents guidelines for successful fraud examinations, emphasizing the significant impact that these investigations can have on convictions and incarceration. This work is essential reading for students, academics, and practitioners in Criminal Justice, Corporate Law, and Business, contributing to broader discussions on the privatization of policing.
