This book addresses the most widespread forms of financial crime
today, namely corporate fraud, corruption, tax fraud, the shadow
economy, informal entrepreneurship, money laundering, international
informal capital flows, cybercrimes, and cryptocurrency scams.
Given the rapid rise of digitalization, especially due to the
COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a huge surge in financial crime,
especially in the form of cybercrime, which affects people’s
financial security. Hence, the aim of this book is to stress the
connected nature of financial crime and good governance, in order
to achieve the most positive, sustainable development of society.
The book analyzes financial crime in the context of digitalization.
On the one hand, digitalization offers clear advantages in
terms of reducing classical types of fraud such as tax evasion,
corruption, the shadow economy, etc. On the other hand,
digitalization offers new channels for criminals to gain illegal
benefits when operating in digital space, e.g. through cybercrime,
bank fraud, FinTech fraud, e-commerce fraud, etc. In this context,
the term “digital shadow economy” has recently emerged in the
literature as an expression of the types of fraud committed in
digital space. In addition, the book explores issues concerning
changes in regulations for various financial crimes around the
world, statistics, and ways to combat digital crimes including
punitive, preventive and other measures. Special attention is paid
to cybercrime and cybersecurity issues, the goal being to raise
readers’ awareness of these threats.
