Abstract
The most economically disadvantaged members of society are not the only ones

committing crime. Members of the privileged socioeconomic class are also engaged in

criminal behavior. The types of crime may differ from those of the lower classes and

include lawyers helping criminal clients launder their money, executives bribing public

officials to achieve public contracts, and accountants manipulating balance sheets to

avoid taxes. Another important difference between the two types of offenders is that the

elite criminal is much less likely to be apprehended or punished due to his or her social

status (Brightman, 2009).

The term white-collar crime expresses different concepts depending on perspective

and context. In this research, white-collar crime is defined as financial crime committed by

white-collar criminals. Thus, the definition includes characteristics of the crime as well as

the criminal. Financial crime generally describes a variety of crimes against property,

involving the unlawful conversion of property belonging to another to one's own personal

use and benefit, more often than not involving fraud but also bribery, corruption, money

laundering, embezzlement, insider trading, tax violations, cyber attacks, and the like

(Henning, 2009). Criminal gain for personal benefit seems to be one of the core

characteristics of financial crime. financial officer (CFO) react when suspicion of white-collar crime emerges? Results from

a survey of CFOs in Norway are applied to answer this research question.
