The commercial airline Flight MH 370 has not been recovered despite billions of dollars spent looking for this passenger aircraft that had been due to arrive at Beijing airport many years ago. There were hundreds of passengers on this flight.There have been many aircraft crashes, yet manufacturer denies responsibility. This book poses many possible reasons for this Flight MH370 being still missing.

This book was written to give a brief but good overview of the regulations for doing business in the United Kingdom. If a businessman knows what regulations are in force in a country, he should not be caught unawares by income tax investigations, demand for Value Added Taxes which he did not expect, and so on. This book is NOT a business manual. It is NOT a law textbook for students grappling with examinations on the subject, although it adequately fits that description; rather, it is for general public readership: it has been written in a readable style, by passing pomp and jargon. In this valuable contribution to an understanding of U.K. business regulations, the author urges all business people to know their rights, have their affairs in order and learn the rules of engagement as they can be used to their advantage.

Fraud is big business and it rots the fabric of finance and accountancy, as it is exercised by all day trading of bonds, junk bonds, loans. Twenty-five years ago, fraud was said to be rapidly expanding and manifests itself by shady deals, fraudulently converted cash. Fraudsters who are active, especially electronic fraud, do in fact treat the use of fraud as serious "business" and the execution of frauds as "work," much as other criminals treat their activities as their "job"! Identity theft poses a frightening threat of being taken in by crooks. If twenty-five years ago it was estimated that the amount of fraudulent cash around the world at any one time more than equalled the Gross National Products of several third-world countries, it would not be believed--a damning indictment indeed.

In this fascinating and comprehensive study on Fraud the author takes advantage of the fact that people seem thrilled to hear about frauds, like murders. She has prepared works that will use the reader's' attention to discuss law enforcement and the consequences of breaking the law by committing frauds.

Sally Ramage is an established writer of legal books, articles and academic papers on the subject of serious financial fraud. This is Book 3 in her Fraud Law Series, the first being "SERIOUS FRAUD AND CURRENT ISSUES," the second being "FRAUD AND THE SERIOUS FRAUD OFFICE."

This third book concentrates on serious corporate fraud in the United Kingdom. Ms Ramage thinks that it is imperative that, to detect corporate fraud, one must have a good understanding of the company law of the country in which the fraud takes place. So her Book 3 "Fraud Law" will teach you UK COMPANY LAW in a simple, easy to understand way. It then illustrates the breaches of the law with Serious Fraud Office prosecutions. The cases are a startling reminder that this very serious subject is more disturbing as it reveals that it is the professionals, solicitors, accountants and senior executives, who perpetrate such clever, cunning and unscrupulous deeds.

The author would appreciate feedback and if you find this book useful and if you would like her to write similar volumes for other countries, please put forward your suggestions to her.

"A Comparative Analysis of Corporate Fraud: Book Four" examines corporate fraud in the United Kingdom compared with that of two civil law neighbouring countries, France and Germany, as well as the United States. The objective of the study is to discover how fraud occurs, how the two different legal systems treat fraud, contributing factors, and if recommendations were made to authorities in an attempt to combat this illegal activity.

The UK can learn much from the French legal system and the way France prosecutes corporations. Germany's Criminal Code is equally comprehensive in its prescriptive definitions of fraud, especially corporate fraud. Although the UK is striving for a general law against fraud, the UK Fraud Offence Bill is very inadequate, lacking detailed solutions. The UK has become entrenched in upholding legal privilege, bowing to intense lobbying by the legal profession. And the use of electronic evidence, vital in prosecuting modern corporate fraud, remains overlooked.

The attitude toward corporate fraud in the UK remains laissez-faire. By analysing corporate fraud in the US, France, and Germany, author Sally Ramage highlights examples that the UK can take from these countries that combat corporate fraud without derogation of established international human rights.

This is Book Two ("Fraud and the Serious Fraud Office") in the series 'Fraud Law', following Book One ("Serious Fraud and Current Issues"), and deals with legal issues such as the right to silence of a suspect. The law of Germany, France and New York and Illinois is discussed and compared with English law to give a good perspective of fraud in the developed world.

The very fact that the series consists of five volumes speaks for itself that fraud is a huge problem and seems to have become accepted as part of our culture, with roots of fraudulent behaviour running deep into the fabric of finance and accountancy. There is nothing new under the sun, as the saying goes, and fraud is as common today as in centuries past, man's ingenuity and cunning only growing sharper.

It is not easy to prevent others from using your ideas or information for gain unless you use the sophisticated and esoteric legal techniques of intellectual property law.Copyright, which is especially important, is a form of protection afforded to many different types of work. Copyright protection for literary work is well known, and this regime also applies to musical and artistic works, broadcasts, sound and video recordings and typographical arrangements."An Introduction to Intellectual Property," an introduction to topics in intellectual property law by the unusual method of using moots, mock trials, questions and answers and essays, is not a textbook. It serves to interest the inquisitive without going into the deep law of IP. It will certainly encourage the reader to read an IP textbook and help students when faced with a decision to choose the subject for study.
