Fraud in company affairs: mandatory imprisonment and fines tied to amount involved, harsher where public interest implicated.

Punishment for company-related fraud imposes mandatory imprisonment and fines in addition to other liabilities. The guilty person faces a custodial term and a fine not less than the amount involved, with a higher minimum term when public interest is implicated. "Fraud" encompasses acts, omissions, concealment, or abuse of position with intent to deceive or obtain undue advantage, and includes defined concepts of "wrongful gain" and "wrongful loss."
