Bøker av Petter Gottschalk

In this pioneering monograph based upon extensive primary research, Gottschalk and Hamerton explore and evaluate the developing global field of internal investigations within complex organizations. Applying an offender-based perspective, the authors explore the central role of convenience in seeking to inform, improve and develop policy and practice. A comparative interdisciplinary work, with extensive coverage of European, North American, African and Asian paradigms, The Internal Review of Corporate Deviance presents empirical fieldwork supplemented by the detailed analysis of a large number of internal reviews produced on completion of internal investigations. The aggregate research gathered considers offender motive, conformance, potential damage and recovery of the corporate social license, and convenience themes, while critically assessing investigation effectiveness and review maturity - as both successful and deficient practice. In doing so, the book presents a close analysis of the field to identify, position, and reveal the strategic role of internal review and impact of the social license on contemporary conceptions of white-collar deviance and crime. This book will be of interest to scholars of criminology, business management, law and sociology, along with practitioners and professionals within allied disciplines.

This book reviews a range of reports written by fraud examiners after completing internal investigations. These reports are normally kept secret and are the property of client organizations, which do not wish to disclose potential wrongdoing that can harm the reputation of the businesses.

This volume looks at the emerging perspective to the social license and white-collar and corporate crime in criminal justice. While most scholarship explains the frequent lack of police involvement, prosecution, and punishment through various theoretical perspectives that reflect the legal license to operate, the social license to operate illustrates punishment of violations that can cause termination of executives, market loss, and other serious harm to individuals and firms. This book presents several case studies where fraud examiners reviewed the legal license, while the social license was ignored, distinguishing between punishment from violations of the legal license and punishment from violations of the social license to operate. This volume is ideal for crime analysts and scholars of corporate and white-collar crime.

Compliance has long been identified by scholars of white-collar crime as a key strategic control device in the regulation of corporations and complex organisations. Nevertheless, this essential process has been largely ignored within criminology as a specific subject for close scrutiny - Corporate Compliance: Crime, Convenience and Control seeks to address this anomaly. This initiating book applies the theory of convenience to provide criminological insight into the enduring self-regulatory phenomenon of corporate compliance. Convenience theory suggests that compliance is challenged when the corporation has a strong financial motive for illegitimate profits, ample organisational opportunities to commit and conceal wrongdoing, and executive willingness for deviant behaviour. Focusing on white-collar deviance and crime within corporations, the book argues that lack of compliance is recurrently a matter of deviant behaviour by senior executives within organisations who abuse their privileged positions to commission, commit and conceal financial crime. 

This book takes a new approach by turning the problem of control upside down as it focuses on control of executives who find white-collar crime convenient. The bottom-up approach to executive compliance focuses on organizational measures to make white-collar crime less convenient for potential offenders.

This book presents a number of case studies of investigation reports by fraud examiners, offering a framework for studying the report as well as insights into convenience of fraud.

Gransking er å rekonstruere en hendelse eller et hendelsesforløp. De som utfører granskingen skal finne svar på hva som skjedde, og hvordan og hvorfor hendelsen fant sted. Granskerne skal finne ut hvem som var delaktige i hendelsesforløpet, og hvem som forsøkte å forhindre det, men de skal ikke ta stilling til om hendelsene er å betrakte som lovbrudd.Strategisk gransking innebærer at granskerne bruker fem bestemte strategier ved undersøkelse og kartlegging av hendelser: informasjonsstrategi (valg av informasjonskilder) kunnskaps­strategi (valg av kunnskapskategorier) metodestrategi (valg av fremgangsmåter) konfigurasjonsstrategi (valg av arbeidsform) og systemstrategi (valg av digitalisering).Strategisk gransking ved mistanke om økonomisk kriminalitet dreier seg om å finne frem til og sikre spor som sannsynliggjør sakens sanne sammenheng og mistenktes skyld eller eventuelt skyldfrihet.Denne boken retter seg mot bachelorstudenter på siviløkonomstudier, økonomisk-administrative studier, og kriminologi-, politi- og jusstudier. Boken er også egnet for ledere som vil vurdere kriminelle trusler i og mot virksomheten.«Skjulte transaksjoner i skatteparadis er et alvorlig samfunnsproblem.
