Simply stated, Corporate Fraud (also referred to as Securities Fraud) is when a publicly traded corporation disseminates false information relied upon by shareholders that falsely inflate the stock or bond price of a company. When the fraud is disclosed through a federal or state investigation, financial restatement, whistle blower or other means, the company’s stock then drops substantially damaging those shareholders that relied upon the falsely inflated public statements. Corporate fraud schemes usually go beyond the scope of and just one employee, and are marked by their complexity and economic impact on the business, the shareholders and sometimes the markets.

Some better know examples of corporate fraud are the WorldCom, Enron, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, Enron, Tyco, McKesson and Adelphia scandals.
