81. Governor Fraud and embezzlement are probably what we think of first when we talk about whitecollar crime, but it can go much further. Tax http://www.bon.com.na/Speeches/cfa.htm

Governor’s address at the dinner hosted by the Institute of Commercial and Financial Accountants I would like to pose a question to one and every person present here tonight and it goes as follows: Do you think accountants has a professional responsibility to expose white collar crime? Answers in the affirmative to this question I expect would be in the minority. Some respondents to this question might even feel that this question is unfairly placed. But the reality is that accountants have to face up to this question, as white-collar crime is becoming more prevalent. The natural question that then come up is to ask what should be expected of the accountancy profession in this regard. Too often the profession is unable to state exactly what its role is, most likely because it has trouble defining the parameters of confidentiality. Exposure of white-collar crime to the public is a valuable weapon in the arsenal and accountants should be counted on to use this weapon. Accountants generally have some guidance on this subject, but it mostly deals with how to treat these situations within the organisation, when the real issue is exposing white-collar crime outside the organisation. It is here that the issue of confidentiality collides with the public’s right to know concept. To put it more bluntly, the responsibility of the accountant to “blow the whistle”. Confidentiality is the hallmark of the profession and virtually all of the ethical codes stress this concept. Accountants have key roles within organisations and access to their most sensitive financial information. Whether serving a client as a public practitioner or in an employer/employee relationship, the need for trust is paramount. Any unnecessary breaks in this trust would have serious repercussions. Yet, confidentiality is not absolute. There are situations where legal or professional requirements could override that responsibility, in that accountants might be obliged to report findings and even suspicions to some particular regulatory or other office.

Vol. 9 No. 10 (October 1999) pp. 428-430 FRAUD: ORGANIZATION, MOTIVATION AND CONTROL by Michael Levi (Editor), 2 volumes. Brookfield, Vermont: Ashgate Publishing Company, 1999. Volume I, 579 pp. Volume II, 417 pp. Cloth $ 323.95. Reviewed by David Schultz, Graduate School of Public Administration and Management, Hamline University, and University of Minnesota School of Law. White-collar crime is an enigma. What it is, whether it is different in kind from street crime, who commits it, the frequency and cost of such crimes, and the motives for it remain controversial and the subject of enduring debate within the criminal justice field. Michael Levi's FRAUD provides a wide-range of articles that address these questions and challenges many assumptions held regarding white-collar crime. Levi's book is an anthology of almost everything one would want to know about fraud as a form of white-collar crime. It brings together an international collection of research on fraud drawn from dozens of journals. Volume I describes how fraud is committed in almost a "how to" fashion and it also addresses why people commit this crime. Volume II examines social perceptions of fraud and the enforcement of laws against this white-collar crime. Between the two volumes there are 44 articles ostensibly on fraud, but in total, they test many of the assumptions and claims of Sutherland's, yielding a surprising and informative picture of what white-collar crime is, who commits it, why, and how they are punished. What do these studies say about what fraud and white-collar crime are?

WCC is often conflated, in texts and in law, with corporate crime...yet the sociology is very different as are the forms of crime involved. Then too, WCC is one form of human behavior which resists easy theorizing and broad generalizing. Efforts to generate formal, axiomatic, predictive theory fail here as much or more than with other forms of crime. Yet there are some commonalities within the genre which help sort out those differences and, thus, provide some leverage for those interested in equitable reciprocities as well as in social policy oriented to low crime relationships.

rjwaska@worldnet.att.net Texas White Collar Crime Law Firm Law Firm Policy Statement Ronald J. Waska has a general trial practice since 1970 with an emphasis on white collar crime and business litigation. He represents individuals charged in both state and federal courts across the United States. Mr. Waska has provided representation to many businesses and corporations including publicly traded corporations. However, since his experience as a federal prosecutor, resigning as Chief of the Criminal District for the Southern District of Texas for private practice, his passion is defending individuals charged with a crime or denied what is fair and right. Mr. Waska is dedicated to helping the individual when the power of government attacks the individual. He then becomes the only wall between a prosecution gone awry and an individual with family and future at risk. Individual representation demands total involvement with the client, family, and friends. It requires a commitment to put the client before the attorney. But most of all it requires complete honesty and integrity with the client to afford the client with an awareness of all options at all stages of the case, and the impact on the client's life. When the federal government decides "to make a federal case out of it", it is a life changing decision. A client will never be the same. A civil case is merely a lawsuit involving money, but a criminal case puts liberty at stake. There is no parole in the federal criminal system, and virtually no probation except for very minor offenses. A person charged with a federal offense will usually serve time in a federal penitentiary. That is the reason the individual needs a highly experienced, seasoned federal attorney.

White Collar Crime What are White Collar Crimes? White collar crimes are a variety of non-violent crimes usually committed in commercial or business situations for financial gain. Most of these crimes are prosecuted by the federal government and are very serious in nature. The term "White collar" refers to the fact that people who commit these crimes are usually high-powered professionals, and not "Blue-Collar" laborers. Common Examples of White Collar Crimes: Computer / Internet Fraud Applying for credit cards online under false names Unauthorized use of a computer or information on that computer Manipulation of computer files Computer sabotage / hacking Bankruptcy Fraud Misleading creditors Concealing assets from the bankruptcy court Bribery Offering of money or anything of value which is used for the purpose of influencing the actions of the decision maker Credit Card Fraud Unauthorized use of a credit card Identity theft Counterfeiting Coping or imitating an item without authorization with the intention to try and pass it off as the genuine article This is mostly associated with money but can also apply to drivers' licenses, immigration papers, or any other important documents

Accused of a crime? Under investigation? Contact us in confidence. Federal White Collar Crimes in Massachusetts Conviction rates in federal court are very high and only few lawyers in the Commonwealth are experienced handling matters in Federal court. In Federal Court in the District of Massachusetts in 1998, the conviction rate was nearly 91.7% This closely follows the national trend in which conviction rates in federal court are around 90%. The federal government and its investigative agencies use every available tool to convict. Most cases are well documented and the US Attorneys are well trained and prepared. To defend the accused in Federal court requires a combination of determination and experience with the federal court system. Paramount is familiarity with the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. Often much of the case will involve the use and negotiation of these guidelines. The guidelines are complicated and often require mandatory sentences. They eliminate much judicial discretion and attempt to impose a uniform penalty. The guidelines use factors to establish harshness or leniency. In cases where conviction seems inevitable, your attorney will seek out mitigating factors and push for what is called downward departure within the guidelines. These provisions for reductions in the guidelines can include no prior criminal history, the degree of the accused participation in the crime and numerous other factors. Often the guidelines themselves are a fierce battleground and can spell the difference between years in prison and a less onerous penalty.

Corporate Predators - The Academic Siberia Of Corporate Criminology but crimes against corporationsthe traditional white-collar crimes of theft, embezzlement and the like, plus newly defined white-collar crimes such as theft http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Book_Excerpts/AcademicSiberia_CP.html

The Academic Siberia of Corporate Criminology excerpted from the book Corporate Predators by Russel Mokhiber and Robert Weissman Common Courage Press, 1999 Want to be a corporate criminologist? Prepare for the cold winds of academic Siberia. The American Society of Criminology held its 50th Annual Meeting recently in Washington, D.C. The program for the meeting lists 503 sessions. Fewer than ten of those sessions dealt in any way with issues of white-collar and corporate crime. Laureen Snider, a Professor of Sociology at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, attended the conference. She anticipated the dearth of papers on corporate crime. The title of her paper: "The Sociology of Corporate Crime: An Obituary." Snider's point: while corporate crime itself might be increasing around the globe, the study of corporate crime by academics has been declining rapidly over the years. If academics study in the field of white collar crime, they study not the crimes committed by corporations, but crimes against corporations-the traditional white-collar crimes of theft, embezzlement and the like, plus newly defined white-collar crimes such as "theft of time." Instead of focusing on criminal pollution, or the manufacture of hazardous pharmaceuticals that kill, or illegal union-busting by major corporations, the few researchers studying white collar crime are looking at how employees steal from employers.

Vol. 1 No. 7 (September, 1991) pp. 99-101 CRIMES OF THE MIDDLE CLASSES: WHITE COLLAR OFFENDERS IN THE FEDERAL COURTS by David Weisburd, Stanton Wheeler, Elin Waring, and Nancy Bode. New Haven: Yale University Press, 1991. 211 pp. Cloth $24.00. Reviewed by Stuart A. Scheingold, Department of Political Sci- ence, The University of Washington. For those of us whose work has focused primarily on street crime, this books provides an instructive look at the world of white collar crime. Its findings feed directly into common assumptions about the differences between the two criminological worlds. These assumptions are capsulized in the title of the Jeffrey Reiman's persuasive polemic which claims that "the rich get richer and the poor get prison." Without putting too fine a point on it, that is pretty much what Weisburd and his asso- ciate's systematic empirical research uncovers. But the reach of this study extends considerably further towards a reinterpre- tation of the concept of white-collar crime. At the heart of the matter is the discovery that the bulk of white collar crime is not, as we are inclined to believe, committed by the affluent and the influential but by rather "ordinary people." I will return to the implications of this finding at the conclusion of the review. CRIMES OF THE MIDDLE CLASSES is based on U.S. federal court data concerning offenders convicted of committing eight white-collar crimes (e.g.: antitrust, mail fraud, embezzlement) and two "common" crimes (postal theft and forgery). Of course, postal theft and forgery are hardly the typical common crimes. Had more typical street crimes, like robbery, burglary, and assault been included, the differentiation between the worlds of common and white collar crime would probably have been still sharper. Research in the federal courts does not, however, permit analysis of street crimes, which are dealt with almost exclusively in state systems. Still, the separation between the worlds of white collar and street crime is striking and it has to do with the kinds of people who commit the crimes and the sen- tences they receive from the criminal justice system.

White collar crime is a term that has been applied to a wide variety of non-violent crimes that are often committed in offices and boardrooms rather than on the street, by means of unlawful paper transactions rather than with weapons, by middle-class people rather than by career criminals. It includes the crime of fraud in its many - almost limitless - variations, as well as violations of government regulations that might not even result in immediate, ascertainable harm. The term refers to crimes committed by individuals, as well as wrongs inflicted by corporate entities (which are also subject to criminal prosecution). White collar crime is investigated and prosecuted by the federal and state governments. The following are just some of the offenses commonly referred to as "white collar" crimes.
