A recent report by one of the big accountancy firms has shown that middle managers are increasingly turning to fraud and theft – the result of jealousy over high pay among top executives, fear of losing their jobs and the difficulty of hitting targets needed to get bonuses.

More than 40% of firms surveyed said they have been victim of some type economic crime over the past 12 months, from accounting fraud , figures cooked to hit bonus targets and theft of cash.

Middle managers are now committing 47% of all economic crimes, compared with 32% two years ago.
