PR gets clients in a write mess

Article Abstract:

UK property firms show very mixed approaches to public relations. Some make considerable efforts to produce information in a format readily accessible by journalists, while others are much less forthcoming. Some employ public relations consultants who seem hostile, while others hamper the work of their public relations consultants by failing to provide relevant information. In some cases, public relations activities are not coordinated across a large company, thus causing frustration in journalists seeking information. However, centralization is not necessarily the best solution.

A company's fraud investigation strategy will depend on the firm's priorities: for example making an example of the offender, or recovering losses.
