About the book

Growth deterrents, such as fraud, bribery and corruption have the ability to cripple economies and place regions under undue anxiety and turmoil. Governments and corporate entities agree that fraud, bribery and corruption are bad for business and society, and that decisive steps need to be taken to mitigate them. Markets are never static. New risks constantly emerge, and the matters that regulators and the public consider as inappropriate or fraudulent are evolving. It is therefore critical at this juncture to implement adequate safeguards and measures to evaluate and address risks around fraud and corruption.

The book intends to bring a real and relevant representation of the market challenges faced by organizations, including American companies while running business operations in India.

The constant battle between corruption and anti-corruption is like a game of chess, with two opposing sides pitted against each other. Chess, which incidentally has its origin pinned down in India, seems to be an apt way to depict this continued conflict in corporate India.

Checkmate corruption! is authored by leading forensic accounting and dispute professionals from Ernst & Young LLP, Arpinder Singh and Vinay Garodiya. The book is metaphorically demarcated into two sides, one set of players are those driven by corruption, determined to use quicker and unscrupulous ways to succeed. The opposing anti-corruption side consolidates forces that seek to deter unethical practices, promote sound governance and drive corporate compliance.

In the end, the “checkmate” effect is determined on perpetrators, who will no longer be able to consider themselves safe if unethical practices are followed.
