Those leaders whose companies had been the victim of fraud or theft in the past two years were read a list of items and asked if any are applicable to their fraud or theft. Many chose more than one.
These same businesses were then asked about the loss recovery process.
All the business leaders were asked if they had been the victim of any of the following:
