I would expect it to be the reverse: there is no incentive for government programs to root out fraud, if they fall short, they just raise taxes. For private companies - if they are being defrauded, it directly affects their bottom line, and the bottom line of their executives (who would be VERY interested to make sure bonuses increase).
If we are talking about fraud within the company/government, I would expect the same - less in the company than in the government. Not zero, but less overall.

- afarrell 11y agoThe people in charge of trying to root out fraud don't have the power to raise taxes. They aren't congresscritters. That doesn't imply that they aren't demoralized, ineffective, or hamstrung, but still.
- th0waway 11y agowow - really? Negative points for pointing out that the government has no financial incentive to root out fraud? Must be government shills.
