The rise in economic crimes within private companies has created complex legal and structural challenges, particularly in a context where privatization, the expansion of financial markets, and diversification of investments are accelerating. This study aims to identify the legal and institutional barriers to preventing economic crimes in private companies and seeks to propose a comprehensive model to combat such offenses.

In this regard, the research distinguishes between corporate crime and economic crime, emphasizing that economic crimes are primarily driven by the pursuit of financial gain through the misuse of privileged positions and information.

The study categorizes preventive measures into two main groups: social and situational. Social measures include raising stakeholder awareness, promoting corporate social responsibility (CSR), supporting minority shareholders and whistleblowers; situational measures include financial transparency, establishing independent audit systems, and enforcing principles of corporate governance. Additionally, the adoption of dual-layer governance structures and modern technologies is recommended to enhance oversight and reduce opportunities for criminal behavior.

Based on the crime triangle (opportunity, motivation, rationalization) and the prevention triangle (increasing detection risk, reducing gain, eliminating justification), the proposed integrated model offers an innovative framework for effective prevention in public, private, and semi-public enterprises. By emphasizing legal reforms, inter-institutional cooperation, and institutional accountability, this model represents a significant step toward building resilient structures against economic crimes.
