Real Losses• Case Study 1: Milton Morris, senior manager in charge of trucking at SC

Johnson conspires with suppliers to overpay them in return for back-handers. Scam goes undetected for 10 years. Company obtains judgement against the perpetrator and trucking companies in excess of USD 200m.

• Case Study 2: Chia Teck Leng was sentenced to 42 years in jail, one of the longest jail term meted out for the largest case in commercial fraud in Asia to date. Chia was a finance manager at Asia Pacific Breweries when he forged documents to swindle banks out of S$117 million over four years to feed his gambling addiction.

Profile of a Perpetrator• Age/seniority: middle management aged 41-50 commit more than a third of internal

frauds – more authority and more access to company resources. Also responsible for the largest losses

• Tenure: longer-term employees commit the largest frauds• Department: accounting department employees commit disproportionate number of

crimes (30%). Senior management (18%), operations (16%) and sales (11%) staff also feature strongly

• Background: 87% or perpetrators have never been charged or convicted and 82% have never previously been punished or terminated

• Motivation: domestic financial difficulties/stress including divorce, gambling, drugs. Pure jealousy combined with rationalisation ("I work just as hard as the CEO why shouldn't I have the benefits which he/she enjoys"?)

• Red flags: living beyond means, financial difficulties, divorce/family problems, close association with vendor, refusal to take vacation, complains about lack of pay
