330 _aThis article draws attention to the systematic and organised criminal acts committed by legitimate enterprises and professionals, focusing on accounting fraud. Firstly, the extent and consequences of "false accounting" are considered, then a theoretical framework is outlined which focuses on structural issues commonly found in financial scandals around the world. The article points to the importance of strains and pressures perpetrators are subject to, the rationalisations they use, the organisational culture and anomie. The author concludes with an outline of the policy implications.
