Trust in Surveys of Economic Crime
摘要
This chapter delves into the perceived exposure to economic crime within both public and private business sectors in Norway, drawing on findings from survey research conducted over several years. Notably, approximately half of all finance and insurance firms in the country report experiencing exposure to economic crime—particularly fraud—on an annual basis. In stark contrast, only 18% of respondents from public administration and defense sectors acknowledge facing similar threats. Despite these perceptions, a staggering 94% of economic crimes in Norway are estimated to go unreported and unregistered. This alarming statistic underscores a significant gap between the actual incidence of economic crime and its recognition in official reports. The insights presented in this chapter are derived from national surveys conducted in 2005, 2010, and 2023, revealing evolving trends and concerns regarding economic crime over time.
