At the Movies – Fraud and White-Collar Crime ACCTG 505 – Fraud Examination Popular culture and media is often an effective way to study certain phenomena and fraud and white-collar crime is no different. There are many good examples in which white-collar crime is presented in film, some of them dramatizations of actual events and others that are purely fictional. In either case, many of these films can be an effective way to consider concepts such as moral ambiguity, immoral and illegal conduct, victimization, enforcement, policy, and jurisprudence. For the purpose of this class, each student will select a film from a list provided, watch the film (you can rent it or stream it as a group), and write a research paper exploring the film and the portrayal of fraud and/or white-collar crime. Your paper should be 3 to 5 pages, 12-point font, 1.5 spacing, and use headers, etc. for organization. As appropriate, your paper should address: • • • • • • • • • • Synopsis of the film; describe and analyze the fraud/crime committed in the movie Overall white collar-theme of the film Description of the protagonist(s) and the dilemma he/she/they faced Personality, conduct, and motivations of the perpetrator(s) Components of the Fraud Triangle that may be present. Application of other fraud theories, as appropriate What harm resulted and who were the victims? The specific offense at issue, including applicable laws How was the offense prosecuted, defended, or adjudicated or how might it have been? Also consider: o Victimization and victim psychology o Moral ambiguity and societal response o Immoral and/or illegal conduct o Enforcement/Punishment o Other observations or responses Your paper will be graded based upon your summary of the applicable components and concepts of the film, the application of course content, and your ability to communicate them in a clear and concise manner. Rev. January 2017 Fraud & White-Collar Crime Movie List This list, while not necessarily comprehensive, provides a starting point for films that have portrayed white-collar crime and/or fraud. Many of these films provide a virtual experience through which we often relate to characters and are absorbed by the dilemma(s) they face. Whether the film is based upon actual events or is purely a work of fiction, films such as these can bring us to a deeper understanding of white-collar crime, the conduct and character of the perpetrators, and the harm done to the victims.

White Collar Crime Movie

White collar crimes are money driven, non-violent in character, and frequently
committed by public servants and businesspeople (Coleman, 2001). They might involve
offenses like market manipulation, cybercrime, embezzlement, and others. This essay will
examine the film American Hustle (2013). Because of its excellent solid cast and script, the
2013 American film release was favorably appreciated by audiences worldwide. The film
was nominated for 10 Academy Awards in the 86th ceremony, along with three Golden
Globes, three BAFTAs, and three Golden Globes.

Movie Synopsis

Written by Eric Singer and Russell and directed by David O. Russell, the 2013 film
The American Hustle is a black comedy from the United States. The F.B.I.'s fraud schemes in
the 1980s and 1970s served as the basis for the film (Leiby, 2013). Amy Adams and Christian
Bale, the film's two leads, portray con artists in the story. Bradley Cooper, an F.B.I. agent,
coerces the two artists into helping him conduct an undercover operation against corrupt
officials like the crooked politician of Camden, Jeremy Renner, and other political elites.
Jennifer Lawrence portrays an uncertain wife in the film. Thus, the crime depicted in the film
is corruption by individuals in positions of authority. The main theme of the movie can be
summed up as a calculated plot to destroy the influential people who become embroiled in
scandals ...
