Fraud, Whistleblowing, And Sins Of Omission: A Call To Action

Abstract

The world economy loses more than $4.4 trillion each year due to fraud. Fraud losses harm economies and societies. This paper specifically addresses the role of non-fraud actors (NFAs) and how their inaction might perpetuate fraud. NFAs are people within close proximity to fraudsters or fraud schemes. Fraud is connected to sin. From a Christian perspective, how might NFA inaction align with sins of omission and, thus, impact shalom? Several implications, in a business context, are offered.
