Corporate Internal Fraud Investigations is written by Petter Gottschalk and published by Ethics International Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 180441915X (ISBN 10) and 9781804419151 (ISBN 13).

The industry of corporate investigation has grown in recent years where companies hire fraud examiners to investigate suspicions of misconduct and crime. While case studies have been published in the past, this book has a number of new case studies that combine both offender convenience, and investigation maturity. Information retrieved from publicly available internal investigation reports – in some cases, supplemented other sources such as media coverage – is allocated to the analysis of convenience in an attempt to assess motive, opportunity, and willingness. These three dimensions of convenience – motive based on possibilities or threats; opportunity to commit and conceal wrongdoing; and willingness to commit deviant behavior – are corners in the convenience triangle. The book will appeal to business and management scholars, for courses on business ethics and financial crime. In schools of criminology, the book is especially relevant in courses on white-collar and corporate crime. In addition, managers in public and private organizations; those in corporate governance; and practicing fraud investigations will benefit from this book.
