Studios have been gaming the Oscar nominationsfor years - it's time the Academy took action! "Category fraud," Guy Lodge wrote in Variety, is"the practice of campaigning a leading performance in a supportingcategory (or, more rarely, vice versa) to increase an actor's chances ofa nomination or win - and, in some cases, to avoid competition." There have been instances of category fraud ever since the Academy introduced the Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress categories in 1936to honour the work of character actors and featured players without themhaving to compete at the Oscars with famous movie stars. In recent years, however, as awards season campaigns have becomea ruthless and expensive business, category fraud has become more commonand egregious. With publicists taking any opportunity to secure nominationsfor their famous clients, many lesser-known performers are missing outon well-deserved recognition at the Oscars. Supporting performersare being pushed aside by famous stars in co-lead roles, backedby powerful studios and well-funded 'for your consideration' campaigns. When studios first began promoting established stars in co-lead roles for the supporting categories in the1950s, influential figures in the Screen Actors Guild protested and the Academy was forced to change its rules. Once the controversy subsided, however, the reform was repealed.Half a century later the practice is back: bigger and uglier than ever. Category Fraud charts the controversial history of this betrayal ofthe original reason for the introduction of the supporting categoriesand argues that it's once again time the Academy took action."

Focusing on literature and visual art in the years 1910-1935, Modernist Fraud begins with the omnipresent accusations that modernism was not art at all, but rather an effort to pass off patently absurd works as great art. These assertions, common in the time's journalism, are used to understand the aesthetic and context which spawned them, and to look at what followed in their wake. Fraud discourse ventured into the aesthetic theory of the time, to ideas of artistic sincerity, formalism, and the intentional fallacy. In doing so, it profoundly shaped the modern canon and its justifying principles. Modernist Fraud explores a wide range of materials. It draws on reviews and newspaper accounts of art scandals, such as the 1913 Armory Show, the 1910 and 1912 Postimpressionist shows, and Tender Buttons; to daily syndicated columns; to parodies and doggerel; to actual hoaxes, such as Spectra and Disumbrationism; to the literary criticism of Edith Sitwell; to the trial of Brancusi's Bird in Space; and to the contents of the magazine Blind Man, including a defense of Duchamp's Fountain, a poem by Bill Brown, and the works of, and an interview with, the bafflingly unstable painter Louis Eilshemius. In turning to these materials, the book reevaluates how modernism interacted with the public and describes how a new aesthetic begins: not as a triumphant explosion that initiates irrevocable changes, but as an uncertain muddling and struggle with ideology.

Fact: Barings was an excellent company, with professional managers. Their careers were devastated by fraud. How many other managers are now in the same position without knowing it? Fact: The average company loses between 2 per cent and 5 per cent of its turnover as a result of dishonesty. When Mike Comer’s book first appeared it quickly established itself worldwide as the standard work in its field. This third edition is a radical revision reflecting the world of EDI, electronic commerce, derivatives, computerization, empowerment, downsizing and other recent developments. Ironically, many of these have exposed companies to an alarming range of new risks. With the help of real-life case histories the author identifies the main types of fraud, the circumstances in which they occur and the telltale signs that give them away. He examines internal control systems and the attitudes and practices that allow fraud to flourish. He explains in detail how fraud can be prevented and detected, and shows why it is that many fashionable management techniques can also potentially pave the way to corporate disaster.
