Quarter Of Hungarian Companies Report Economic Crime
About 26% of Hungarian companies have experienced economic crime in the past two years, according to a fresh survey by consultancy PwC. The percentage was well under the 37% reported globally, but PwC said “the actual numbers are probably even higher”.

One in five respondents in Hungary said that their company was asked to pay a bribe in the last two years.

One in four said their companies had experienced at least one instance of procurement fraud during the period. PwC Hungary Advisory partner Miklós Fekete said economic crime affects every industry in Hungary, but procurement fraud and cybercrime have gradually emerged as major forms of fraud.

The survey shows that the percentage of companies experiencing cybercrime rose to 17% in 2014 from just 4% in 2011. The global survey included responses from 91 Hungarian companies.
