Beyond examination of an individual acting alone, a review of Hogan et al. (2008) and
Trompeter et al. (2013) suggests that examinations of methods by which management and other
employees collude and factors that lead to collusive behaviors and management override with
respect to fraud are largely unexplored. Non-accounting research (in comparison to accounting
research) tends to more explicitly consider crimes committed by organizations rather than focus on
individual choice(s). Addressing the challenge of collusion, management override, and
organizational malfeasance, Mon (2002) describes how the traditional investigation of white-collar
crime (i.e., examination of individuals) does not adequately explain the offenses of an organization.
The author examines two corporations: one with a criminal record of pollution and the other a nonoffending
company. Relying on surveys, interviews, and data from official agencies with oversight
and investigative responsibility, the results suggest that (1) failure of government regulation, (2)
lack of corporate self-regulation, (3) lack of public concern, (4) inadequate corporate structures, and
(5) low self-control of corporate management are related to corporate crime. Future accounting
research could consider whether factors that lead to corporate crime, in general, also explain
instances of fraudulent financial reporting. Additionally, if such factors do lead to fraudulent
financial reporting, then practitioners could establish more effective controls to mitigate such risk as
well as means to identify such risks.
