Organized Crime and Fraud (Currently Unavailable)

Author: Paul McCormack

Organized crime comes in many forms. From gangs that terrorize local business owners to highly sophisticated, transnational organizations with a command and control structure that rivals that of Fortune 500 companies. How do organized crime syndicates operate? What types of fraud do they commit? What can companies do to protect themselves?

You'll get an overview of the organized crime entities operating in the United States, and abroad, as well as "real world" fraud cases with connections to organized crime. Each case includes a detailed discussion of the scheme and a list of lessons learned. Learn how to implement changes in people, process and technology to minimize the frequency and magnitude of organized fraud.
