German term

wirtschaftskriminelle Handlung

German to English Bus/Financial Law: Patents, Trademarks, Copyright data protection
Computerkriminalität im Unternehmenskontext bezeichnet die Ausführung von wirtschaftskriminellen Handlungen unter Einsatz von IT-Systemen zum Schaden eines Unternehmens.

Wikepedia suggests white collar crime - does that really cover it? Sounds a bit outdated to me.

A Fraud Squad is a police department which investigates fraud and other economic crimes. The largest Fraud Squad in the United Kingdom is run by the City of London Police who are responsible for policing London's and the UK's main financial hub.
This department investigates what could be described as the "traditional" fraud offences, such as banking frauds; insurance frauds; investment frauds; insider dealing frauds; advance fee frauds and Internet frauds, amongst others.

Not too keen on 'economic crimes' as this could be a description of government activities on a global scale.

Hej hej, Phil.

Thanks, lirka. I think 'business' might overload the sentence at this point. I get the impression some of our esteemed colleagues are failing to take this terminology query seriously. My own past flippancy has come back to haunt me.
agree casper (X) : As you've already said, 'fraudulent' seems to cover it. However, 'business fraud' (as sugg by lirka) or even 'financial fraud' would be my preference.

What is Financial Fraud?

Financial fraud can be broadly defined as an intentional act of deception involving financial transactions for purpose of personal gain. Fraud is a crime, and is also a civil law violation. Many fraud cases involve complicated financial transactions conducted by 'white collar criminals' such as business professionals with specialized knowledge and criminal intent.

Financial fraud is a situation in which the legal and ethical management of financial resources does not take place. In most countries around the world, this type of fraud occurs due to deliberate decisions and actions made by people who handle money and other assets on behalf of employers or clients. However, there are a few places around the world where the unintentional mishandling of funds is also classified as fraud and is subject to the same legal censure as any deliberate action.

In most cases, the fraudulent handling of financial resources will lead to substantial losses for an investor or a corporation.
