Summary/Abstract: The system of ethical principles protects enterprises against the spread of various types of pathology, including fraud which is a manifestation of dishonesty that generates various costs for enterprise but also a threat for its further functioning in the market. The scale and types of fraud have not been fully investigated due to the fact that many unethical actions have not been identified or reported to the relevant authorities. The aim of this study is to present the scale of fraud committed in enterprises in selected European and Asian countries on the basis of Association of Certified Fraud Examiners reports and to point out that the problem of fraud is present in enterprises and it is important for micro and macro development.
