How do we prevent fraud?We agree with other experts that the best way to minimize the cost of fraud is to prevent it. With that in mind, we will deliver customized solutions designed to arm you with effective and practical tools and procedures to proactively fight fraud. Our prevention services are designed to help you reduce your potential loss, mitigate your corporate liability and enhance your business image. Deliver Customized Training to Employees Across All FunctionsWhile occupational fraud results in the theft or misappropriation of assets (e.g. cash, inventory, equipment), many schemes originate outside of the accounting function. In terms of prevention, therefore, it is important that employees in all functions and levels are aware of how they can minimize fraud opportunities. We will customize training and education programs for employees across all functions (e.g. accounting, human resources, sales, purchasing, etc.), so that fraud prevention is truly an organization-wide effort. Embed a Consistent and Effective Anti-Fraud Philosophy in Your Corporate CultureSolid internal controls are of limited use in preventing fraud if their existence is not made public to those who would attempt to violate them. In addition to training and education, establishing and reinforcing the tone at the top is key. We will work with you to consistently communicate and reinforce policies and a code of ethics, and further, to establish an anonymous reporting mechanism that includes not only employees, but also customers and suppliers.
