Abstract: Purpose - This study aims to identify perceptions of financial crime among students in six different countries. Design/methodology/approach - Survey research was conducted among students in India, Iran, Malaysia, Norway, Romania and the USA to compare the ranking of perceptions. Findings - The following three propositions for financial crime had most agreement among respondents: lack of oversight and guardianship, legitimate access to resources and heroic offender status. Research limitations/implications - Scholars involved in various countries conducted survey research at different points in time with little knowledge of each other’s survey populations and response rates. Practical implications - Crime convenience and, thus, attractiveness can be addressed by focusing on propositions finding the strongest agreement in the surveys. Social implications - Agreement and lack of agreement indicate priorities in fighting financial crime. Originality/value - The diversity of nations involved in survey research makes this study interesting.
