Investigators at Kessler International, the world leader specializing in forensic accounting, computer forensics, and corporate investigative services, have witnessed a rapid increase in various types of white-collar crimes in the past six months. Largely due to the weakened economy and its effect on the hard-working, long-suffering middle class, fraud is not likely to diminish anytime soon.

To some, “making ends meet” seems to be tougher and tougher to achieve, so they may decide to commit acts of fraud, either major or minor, as their way of getting back at whoever or whatever they see as an injustice. They ask, “Where’s my fair share? Where’s my buyout plan?” They have seen the big banks squander taxpayers’ money with relatively little repercussion.

The most common acts of fraud being committed lately include accounting and insurance fraud, embezzlement, and identity theft. Statistics show that many consumers view insurance fraud and embezzlement as a means to secure funds in order to pay off their debts. Identity theft is on the rise because more criminals have access to highly sophisticated tools to garner personal information from unsuspecting consumers.

To help combat these types of corporate fraud, legal professionals, financial institutions, and government agencies rely on forensic accounting firms such as Kessler International. This highly skilled team of forensic accountants, computer forensic engineers, licensed investigators, and researchers specializes in fraud auditing and electronic evidence retrieval.
