Fraud Prevention

Fraud is any act of deception carried out for personal gain or to cause a loss to another person or organisation. In the workplace, fraud can occur at any level from junior employees to senior management and can involve financial manipulation, cyber-enabled deception, theft of assets, or the misuse of authority. While many people associate fraud solely with large-scale corporate scandals, the majority of workplace fraud involves small, repeated actions that remain undetected until the impact becomes significant.
