Anti Fraud Management – The Power of Perception of Detection

variabilní symbol: AJ2501
OBSAH SEMINÁŘE
Anti-fraud measures often address restricted target groups within an organization. This may be because the risk of fraud is very narrowly defined, or because discussing fraud openly it not considered desirable. When fraud has happened, hindsight bias kicks in and often it is discovered that the fraud, especially in complex cases, could have been prevented if a lot more departments had been better aware about the potential risks that concern their activities, and hence the possible measures to prevent the fraud. Here is where perception of detection kicks in - the risk of fraud is brought to the front-end, instead of just focusing on repairing what´s broken. The more fraud is perceived as a risk that concerns an entire organization, the better can measures to prevent fraud be integrated in all organizational processes across the three lines of defense, and the more openly can the risk be addressed. Fraudsters run their harmful activities covertly - but chances for fraudsters to find a place to hide diminish with each additional person that is openly made aware of the risk. Such a "front-end" concept is even more effective when the governing body promotes good governance and a healthy culture as key drivers for perception and detection of fraud. This presentation advocates the de-mystification of fraud by integrating the concept of perception of detection of fraud in the entire organization.
