Fraud is everyone’s responsibility
| Statistically, any business with 4 or more employees will experience fraud. |
| Attempts to deal with the rash of corporate scandals over the last decade (Enron, WorldCom, Nortel, Hollinger, and others) have made legislators, professional bodies, management, and researchers aware that fraud cannot be addressed on a symptomatic basis. Fighting fraud is everyone's responsibility. |
| Previously, the focus of fraud was the employee who cheats on his expense claim or embezzles a few thousand dollars; now experts realize that external and internal fraud occurs at every level, in every type of organization. |
| The global nature of today's business world, and the proliferation of networks and the Internet have given fraudsters new opportunities, while creating massive new challenges for fighting fraud. |
| Be part of the solution, not part of the problem. |
