Abstract

A flood of corporate fraud has hit the market in the most recent decade, resuscitating attention to the impact of these incidences on corporate administration and stock market responses. Of particular relevance are Ponzi schemes that are considered practically the same as frauds. As more and more investors fall into the deep trap of Ponzi schemes, the situation is getting even more irrepressible. The reasons for a rise in the number of such swindles are mainly attributed to the breakdown in governance in different countries across the globe. This chapter dwells over the root causes of Ponzi schemes with specific focus on Asia and its developing regions. Through an in-depth study of the causes, the chapter looks to recommend possible solutions in mitigating the crisis, steps to ensure financial stability, and prevention of fraud risks.
