We have been researching usefulness of forensic accounting against corruption in the business world. Corruption and its prevention is in daily news because suspicion of corruptive acts appears daily; among them are most frequent nepotism and clientelism. Creativity of individuals causes that financial scams and frauds in the business world are very difficult to find, therefore, a new brand of accounting has been developed, which is specialized for researching, detection, and proving of business-financial scams, misappropriations, and criminal acts of »white collars«. New brand of accounting is named forensic accounting and includes using of accounting terms, understandings, solutions, and techniques for solving legal operations.
In the last decade, economic relations have changed; the culture of business activity's holders has deteriorated. Insecurity and turbulence have been developed besides that, which affect and threaten basic values in the business world. Ethical behaviour has been replaced by the unethical due to gaining personal benefits and success. Economic criminal has been developed, which is spreading to all areas and causes irreversible damage. Therefore, the act of public orders has been under the corruptive acts, which is the main topic of the master's thesis.
Public orders are an activity, which presents supply of public sector with goods, services, and construction works with the goal to gain more competition offers of the most favourable provider based on certain procedure in advance (Kos, 2013).
Because of non-compliance of basic principles of public ordering, ethical measures of public workers, and consequentially incorrect behaviour in procedures of public orders (which can be caused by no expertise in valid legislation), corruptive acts in procedure are quite common. It happens quite often that the enquirer adapts public order and its element with the purpose to choose the exact provider.
Even though there are certain institutions with control over the procedures, corruption is still a strong system of public orders, which is proven by reports of corruptive acts from the side of the non-chosen bidders. How can we prevent corruptive acts? Maybe with the change of legislation, tighter control over the work of enquirers and providers, and induction of forensic accounting to establish a system of transparency, integrity, and to prove that corruption is not worthwhile. |
