Sailing below the public radar, however, is the everyday toll of “little” frauds; those that do not grab broad attention but can have a profound effect on any organization’s culture and finances. Examples of such illicit activities can be found in many companies. Whether within accounting, treasury, procurement, marketing or payroll departments, fraud will be a very unwelcome event that can upset the equilibrium of even the strongest organization.
In this issue of At Risk, we explore a number of important topics related to everyday fraud and its prevention, detection and investigation:
- Procurement Fraud: Are You Prepared?
- Gaining Access: Using Legal Tools to Get Information
- Whistle-Blower Protections: From Boos and Jeers to Bounties and Cheers
- Beyond the Pursuit of Justice: Employers’ Reactions to Fraud
