What is financial crime?
Economic crime, or financial crime as it is often abbreviated, refers to crime that occurs in the context of a business activity. The most common forms of financial crime are tax offenses and accounting offenses, which comprise the majority of reported financial crimes. This type of crime is often discovered in connection with bankruptcy investigations into companies that have been declared bankrupt. One element of the bankruptcy investigation is to review the company’s accounts and notify the Swedish Economic Crime Authority if a crime is suspected.
Other common forms of financial crime include embezzlement, breach of trust, money laundering, insider trading, fraud, breach of the Companies Act, market manipulation, bribery and benefit fraud.
