Editorial Reviews
From the Inside Flap
The comprehensive resource for understanding fraud and corruption in the marketplace
According to two recent studies, each year financial market misconduct and fraud affects about 15% of publicly listed companies and it can cost between 20% and 38% of the company’s value. Corruption and Fraud in Financial Markets offers a much-needed guide that examines the various types of market manipulation and financial fraud and describes the myriad factors that mitigate or exacerbate the occurrence of fraud and manipulation such as insider trading,
price manipulation, volume manipulation, spoofing, false disclosure, improper broker-agency relationships and improper execution. It also reviews bribery, financial restatements, options backdating and other common types of accounting fraud and conflicts of interest, and explains the consequences of these actions in terms of penalties and their possible impact on the financial marketplace.
Comprehensive in scope, the book contains contributions from noted experts on the topic. They provide evidence for the presence of fraud in specific markets, including crypto-currencies, LIBOR and foreign exchange, and cite the lessons to be learned about the detection and enforcement of market manipulation and financial fraud.
Corruption and Fraud in Financial Markets provides a deeper understanding of all these issues to help prevent you and your company from falling victim to unethical practices.

“Growing evidence of high-level corruption in some of the most developed states, market turbulence and the role of vested interests in both contributing to the causes and benefitting from such crises, makes the study of fraud malpractice in financial markets ever more important. This collection is both timely and prescient, and advances our understanding around a broad range of salient issues.”
