英文摘要

Economic crime comes in many versions in a public company. Making false financial reporting is one of the means to carry out corporate crime, including breach of trust, loan fraud, and irregular transaction. These crimes are usually complicated and done by knowledgeable professionals. When the crimes are revealed to the public by news report, the effects can be wide-ranging, including impact on society's socio-economic situation. To try to prevent these white-collar crimes from happening, corporate governance is the best strategy for early prevention, and judicial proceeding can be viewed as a last-ditch effort for further assistance. This thesis analyzes the motivation and the purpose of criminal defendants in making false financial reporting. Based upon the fact and the opinion of six selected cases which resulted in conviction, this thesis examines how the defendant commits breach of trust, loan fraud and irregular transaction by making false financial reporting. Financial reporting is supposed to reflect performance of any Received for publication March 20, 2018; final revision received April 21, 2018; accepted May 7, 2018. business. This thesis argues that making false financial reporting may appear to be a trivial and victimless crime, but actually it typifies corporate mis-governance and is a good example of corporate criminality. This thesis adopts criminological theory to examine why defendants commit corporate crime by making misstatement in their financial reporting. Furthermore, this thesis argues that the application of severe punishment only has a limited effect in preventing corporate criminality. Rather, emphasis needs to be placed on precaution and corporate governance; effective governance acts as a suitable control system for the company. Specifically, a company must follow generally accepted accounting rules to enhance transparency and reliability when compiling its financial reporting. Thus, efforts at fraudulent mis-statements can be reduced and company competency increased.
