Abstract

It has become quite popular in private and public organizations to hire consultants from global auditing firms and local law firms to investigate suspicions of financial crime by white-collar offenders. The purpose of an investigation is to reconstruct pat events and sequences of events in the organization to find answers to questions concerning what, how, when, who, and why. Unfortunately, many fraud examinations fail. This chapter presents a case where fraud examiners failed in an investigation of suspicions of procurement fraud in a municipality in Norway. Without clear answers from examiners, the blame game occurred, where involved persons attempt to pass the blame on others. When there is a suspicion of fraud and corruption in an organization, the organization hires fraud examiners from global auditing firms or local law firms to investigate the case.
