Legislating Fraud Loss Measurement

Martin Tunley

Chapter 5 in Mandating the Measurement of Fraud: Legislating against Loss, 2014, pp 81-96 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter presents the research findings on mandating the measurement of fraud through legislation. The chapter commences by discussing opinion on mandating fraud loss measurement and the possible arguments that may be offered against such a proposition. The focus then moves to the creation and implementation of a statute and whether this legislation should prescribe what fraud is measured, how it is measured, and the frequency of measurement exercises. It also considers the release of what may be sensitive data into the public domain. The chapter closes with a discussion of arguments against the proposed creation of a statute mandating measurement, and evaluates the reasons offered why this is not considered a feasible option.
