H.1: Corporate Fraud

Reduce levels of corporate fraud by targeting those groups or individuals engaged in major corporate fraud schemes that significantly impact the investing public and financial markets.

Other Information:

Fraud by company executives and those in positions of trust not only damages stockholders, but also erodes public confidence in the corporate community at large. The FBI will continue increasing its efforts in this area by using agents and analysts with high degrees of expertise in financial investigations. The sheer complexity of illegal corporate transactions require extraordinary time and commitment to investigate. Priority Actions: Expand the intelligence base through private sector and community outreach specifically focused on private industry personnel, government regulators, and all levels of law enforcement. Initiate major investigations on all aspects of corporate fraud. Incorporate aggressive asset forfeiture actions in every criminal case to strip violators of their ill-gotten gains. Develop human sources that can substantially reduce the time and resources dedicated to complex investigations.
