This chapter illustrates the types of organised financial crimes, including money laundering, high-profile corporate scandals, Ponzi and pyramid schemes, and identity theft. Moreover, this chapter illustrates the role that a forensic accountant plays in detecting and deterring each type of these organised financial crimes.
