Sinopse: All organisations are exposed to various forms of internal and external fraud risk. When that risk becomes reality, the impact goes well beyond financial loss. Fraud against the public sector diverts resources from essential services, undermines the integrity of publicly funded programmes, and fuels ongoing criminal activity.
Understanding fraud exposure and weaknesses helps to raise awareness and inform the implementation of an effective fraud prevention programme. Because fraud is a hidden and unreported crime, the risks and impacts are often underestimated and overlooked.
Fortunately, identifying and mitigating fraud risks does not need to be difficult. A great starting point is a fraud risk assessment which helps an organisation understand their exposure to fraud risks and design and implement a fraud risk management plan. Additionally, preventing fraud ensures funds reach the people, communities, and organisations that depend on it.
