FAQ
Deception is a kind of corruption that can support other forms of misconduct or exist for its own sake. For example, a firm that illegally pollutes the environment might deceive its public in order to avoid detection, while another may deceive by grossly exaggerating its financial performance.

An act or practice may be found to be deceptive if there is a representation, omission, or practice that misleads or is likely to mislead a consumer. Deception is not limited to situations in which a consumer has already been misled.
