Fraud methods constantly improving

Corruption cannot be a rare occurrence in the Romanian society as long as the Romanian language has seven words designating such practices, while methods are constantly improving, said Everard Van Steenderen, tax and legal consulting partner with Deloitte & Touche. “Fraud is a most frequent occurrence in everyday life. For instance, you go to a bar to have a cup of coffee and when you ask for the bill, the waiter tells you how much you have to pay without producing any bill. This means the money in question goes to the waiter not to the owner of that bar,” Van Steenderen said during the launch of the new anti-fraud services. Deloitte & Touche has launched in Romania its services for fraud and corruption detection and investigation, Forensic Services, as well as an electronic tool that can scan financial data of various companies in order to spot the potentially fraudulent transactions, DT ektiv.
