假冒商品欺诈被认为是世界上增长最快的业务之一。研究假冒商品流动的学术工作开始形成势头。然而，分析促成这一交易的金融机制的工作一直不那么积极。尽管在过去的二十年里，官方和媒体的言论越来越多地关注“有组织犯罪”的总体财务状况，但这仍是事实。基于一项汇集了英国国家贸易标准的学术研究人员和执法人员的探索性研究，本文的目的是提供假冒商品贸易中的财务管理的描述。这篇文章以有形商品为重点，阐述了如何确保资本的安全，以启动和维持假冒企业，企业家和客户如何结算付款，以及企业利润是如何消费和投资的。这项研究涵盖了英国这一明显跨国贸易的更广泛背景。
Counterfeit goods fraud is stated to be one of the fastest growing businesses in the world. Academic work examining the flows of counterfeit goods is beginning to build momentum. However, work analysing the financial mechanisms that enable the trade has been less forthcoming. This is despite the fact that over the last two decades official and media discourses have paid increasing attention to 'organised crime' finances in general. Based on an exploratory study that brought together academic researchers and law enforcement practitioners from the UK's National Trading Standards, the aim of the current article is to offer an account of the financial management in the counterfeit goods trade. Focusing on tangible goods, the article addresses the ways in which capital is secured to allow counterfeiting businesses to be initiated and sustained, how entrepreneurs and customers settle payments, and how profits from the business are spent and invested. The study covers the UK in the broader context of what is a distinctly transnational trade.
