Fraud is prevalent across all industries and continues to be a costly problem for virtually every type of organization all over the world. With the increase in competition, globalization, technological changes and potential periods of economic volatility, the risks of fraud will likely increase.
Organizations that actively manage their fraud risk have benefited by reducing the impact of fraud. However, many organizations still do not have formal systems and procedures in place to prevent, detect and respond to fraud.
While the law relating to fraud varies from country to country, there are universal principles of fraud risk management relating to prevention, detection and response that can be applied by organizations of all sizes in any industry and/ or country.
