international auditor's views[edit]
In 2009 PricewaterhouseCooper (PwC) conducted a survey on Global Economic Crime. It revealed that "42% of New Zealand organisations (public and private) have suffered from an economic crime in the previous 12 months, with an average loss of almost $492,000."[11] In 2011, another PwC survey found the figure had risen to almost 50%.[12] PwC says this is a particularly high proportion and is significantly above the global average of 34%.[13] It gives New Zealand the fourth highest level of fraud out of the 78 countries surveyed. In 2011, 4% of New Zealanders also admitted to paying a bribe – which is twice as high as the rate in Australia and four times the United Kingdom's rate.[14]
