Big Four firm says forum to share knowledge and participate in research to help prevent, detect and investigate fraud and economic crime goes live tomorrow

PricewaterhouseCoopers is to launch a Fraud Academy tomorrow, with the aim of preventing corporate corruption at a time when the chances of fraud rocket due to the economic turmoil.

The academy will provide an online forum allowing members to share knowledge and participate in research to help prevent, detect and investigate fraud and economic crime.

The firm expects those joining to include people working in finance, internal audit, security, in-house legal and compliance functions as well as specialist fraud teams.
