From Bridgegate to Iran-Contra, this book walks through the massive scandals that resulted from public mismanagement and fraud to illustrate how deeply-entrenched, entity-specific norms can differ from actual best practices. The discussion includes the theoretical underpinnings of public fraud, and how intense corporate culture and limited exposure to outside practice standards can lead to routine deviation from normal behavior and moral standards. You'll find a compendium of practices that illustrate actual norms, allowing you to compare your own agency's culture and operations to standard practice, and contrast the motivations for fraud in the public and private sectors. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublic agencies and governmental entities are generally driven by a pubic benefit or goal, but are widely varied in the ability and desire to deliver value while retaining best practices. This book explicitly explores the common patterns of agency practices and cultural norms, and describes how they can easily cross over into illegal acts. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnderstand why fraud exists in the public sector\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscover how your agency's mindset diverges from the norm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReview cases where agency practices diverged from best financial practices\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLearn good practices in an objective, nonpolitical context\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe government\/public sector provides some of the most basic services that are critical to a functioning society.
