An investigation of the incidence of insider criminal activity in RTC resolved S & L's

Article Abstract:

Keywords: Accounting research, Savings and loans, Fraud, Business failures, Crime, USA The impact of crime as a factor in the Savings & Loan collapse has been a topic of discussion in the literature for some time. This study provides evidence that the incidence of crime was far more pervasive than acknowledged in previous research. The findings of the current study indicate that crime was not relegated to small, under-capitalized thrifts, but in fact was more prevalent in thrifts with larger assets. While strong evidence of widespread criminal activity is presented, the initial findings of this exploratory study do not provide a confirmatory link between significant losses in the S&L collapse and dishonest management. However, the results do suggest that a greater amount of research into individual criminal case histories is certainly warranted.
