Everyone, from private sector practitioners to regulators, seems to agree that the economic crisis has heightened the threat of financial crime and fraud. Many firms are looking to strengthen their defenses and regulators are being more aggressive in seeking out and punishing financial misdemeanors ranging from credit card fraud, to market manipulation and theft. The rapid expansion of the internet has also heightened the potential threat helping to globalize crime.
