In-house crime still a major problem for Polish firms

"Unfortunately, this year the figures haven't changed much," the chairman of Deloitte in Poland, Maria Rzepnikowska said. According to the report, which was based on a survey conducted among different enterprises, unnecessary purchases remain the most common form of fraud in corporations, with embezzlement of funds and unauthorized use of computers following next on the list. While companies reported that bribery and private shopping with company money have become less frequent over the past two years, stealing information and the aforementioned unauthorized use of computers are more common than before. "This is due to the fact that computers and IT are more widely used," the manager of the corporate crime department at Deloitte, Agnieszka Gawronska-Marzec, said. (WBJ)
