Financial Crime Survey

Onderzoek samen met NIVRA en Nijenrode

In the past three years, Eighty-five percent of Benelux Financial institutions have been the victim of financial crime. Fraud occurs across the whole spectrum of the financial services industry. Perpetrators include long-time, trusted (mid-level) employees, high-level employees or management, clients and intermediaries, and brokers (especially in insurance).

Financial crimes mentioned include asset misappropriation, identity theft, credit / debit fraud, fraudulent reporting, insider trading, and collusion between employees and clients. Sixty-five percent of the respondents foresee more criminal intent in the near future. Growing concerns are mergers within the banking industry, information security, private banking / asset management and insurance products.

Financial crime schemes are still mostly detected by chance, through notification by employees or clients, and increasingly through internal controls and detection software. Victimization and new rules and regulations (US Patriot Act, Sarbenes-Oxley) have changed mentalities with regard tot financial crime and corporate governance. Increasingly, operational risk analyses incorporate aspects of financial crime, money laundering, fraud, insider trading and market abuse.
