Brief:
Executive directors are under pressure to meet stakeholder expectations regarding the prevention of fraud and corruption.
However, the drive to demonstrate that they are complying with legislative requirements and high principles has, in many cases, overshadowed the need to deal with the problem itself. As a result, fraud and corruption remain a significant unmanaged source of risk for many organisations, the authors claim.
Drawing on experiences across Europe, America and Australia, Iyer and Samociuk offer tools to establish an anti-fraud and corruption programme. Included is a compendium of techniques for assessing the true risk of fraud and corruption, reducing those risks and using health checks to provide early warnings. Also included is The Tightrope, a ‘a fictionalised corporate case study’ of fraud and corruption which takes the reader from first suspicions through crisis and finally recovery, covering the lessons in the main text.
Content includes risk assessment; prevention and detection up front; and managing incidents.
