This work contains a selection of key papers presented at the 14th International Symposium on Economic Crime, which had as its central theme the prevention and control of corrupt practices. Whether the major issue centres on the control of economic crime, the protection of developing economies or those in transition, the ever-present threat of corruption remains predominant.

Corruption and associated abuses attack from within the integrity and thus the efficiency and efficacy of institutions, both in the public and private sectors. Whilst the threat inevitably has an external aspect the consequences occur within government or the enterprise in question. Therefore the control of corrupt practices requires more than any other threat, an integrated strategy involving preventive and response measures facing both outwards and inwards.

All aspects of the problem of corruption are addressed on a multidisciplinary basis and cover a variety of jurisdictions. These proceedings should be of interest to law enforcement officers, lawyers, and bankers.
