Definitions

Corruption is defined by Transparency International DK as "misappropriation of entrusted authority for own gain”. This definition is in accordance with the World Bank and OECD.

Fraud is economic crime including various forms of swindle, fraud or forgery. It is fraud when a civil servant cheats people or companies for his/her own profit, or if civil servants are operating in the black market or in criminal circles.

Embezzlement or peculation is theft of public money by civil servants. I.e. those entrusted the administration of public funds embezzle the money. It may be directly by digging into the till or indirectly by using public funds for own consumption
