Fraud Week was created to reduce the impact of fraud and corruption by promoting anti-fraud awareness and education.<\/p>\n<h3>Fraud statistics<\/h3>\n<p>Fraud is still increasingly common. Even when it comes to hiring employees, companies must be vigilant. CRI\u00ae Group&#8217;s investigative team found that providing incorrect employment details is the most common red flag, as it was uncovered in about 4.5 per cent of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/crigroup.com\/ar\/employee-background-checks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">background screenings<\/a>. This is followed by providing incorrect education degree details as well as having adverse media (unfavorable news or online mentions), both at 2.33 per cent. Most employers would probably say that when it comes to educational background, the only thing worse than providing incorrect degree information would be outright claiming a fake degree \u2013 which occurred in nearly 2 per cent of cases.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a class=\"primary-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/crigroup.com\/ar\/employee-screening-red-flags\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more in our article &#8220;Background Screening Red flags: Numbers Don\u2019t Lie&#8221;<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In another survey conducted by CRI\u00ae Group, which analyzed how COVID-19 has impacted human resources and its functions, it was revealed that companies understand the fraud risk factor during the pandemic: nearly 77 per cent of HR professionals accept that there is a risk that employees can initiate fraudulent activity because of the work-from-home arrangement.<\/p>\n<p>Also, the shocking number of survey participants highlighted that they have encountered employee fraud in their career. Luckily,\u00a0most companies do conduct background screening of some type. In fact, 85 per cent do so, which is important because many companies have learned that trust can be misplaced. While an overwhelming 92 per cent said they trust their employees with confidential data,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/crigroup.com\/ar\/employee-background-checks\/\">background screening<\/a>\u00a0can help verify that your employees aren\u2019t hiding anything in their backgrounds that might put your company at risk.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a class=\"primary-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/crigroup.com\/ar\/survey-background-screening\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more about the survey, <\/a>as it provides valuable information for companies, employees, and human resources professionals and teams who serve them. It also sheds light on the critical need for increased employee background screening and data protection during a tumultuous time.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-9834\" src=\"https:\/\/crigroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/COVID19-Survey-no-logo-1024x547-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"547\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crigroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/COVID19-Survey-no-logo-1024x547-1.png 1024w, https:\/\/crigroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/COVID19-Survey-no-logo-1024x547-1-300x160.png 300w, https:\/\/crigroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/COVID19-Survey-no-logo-1024x547-1-768x410.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>Some other stats to note (the following come from the ACFE):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The average fraud lasts 18 months before it is discovered. The longer a fraud lasts, the greater the financial damage (schemes that last for several years can cause hundreds of thousands of dollars).<\/li>\n<li>The most common detection method for fraud is tips. And organisations that have reporting hotlines are much more likely to detect fraud through tips than organisations without hotlines.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All of the above indicates that the fraud issue is real and organisations must take actions to prevent the fraud risks for their organisations and even careers.\u00a0For CRI\u00ae Group, the goal is to help business leaders think about fraud and <a href=\"https:\/\/abacgroup.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">corruption<\/a> this week and take steps to minimise it year-round.

Providing a robust anti-fraud training program increases your company\u2019s protection from risks of fraud and unethical behavior. An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For CRI\u00ae, though, helping organizations prevent and detect fraud is a year-round commitment. That\u2019s why Fraud Week is a great time to reflect on CRI\u00ae Group\u2019s recent efforts in the fight against fraud, and to also look ahead to activities on the near horizon. Below are just a few of the highlights.<\/p>\n<p>Does your organization have a training program in place that addresses fraud, bribery and corruption? And, if so, how robust is your training? How often is it administered? And how do you know it\u2019s working?<\/p>\n<p>These are important questions, especially considering the fact that we know most fraud is discovered internally through employee tips. A recent case study is a perfect illustration of that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Case study: Conflicts of interest<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A major pharmaceutical company\u2019s security department received conflict of interest complaints that reportedly involved a range of employees, from sales personnel on up to the chief financial officer (CFO). \u00a0The company engaged CRI\u00ae Group to conduct an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/crigroup.com\/ar\/due-diligence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">integrity due diligence<\/a>\u00a0and conflict of interest investigation in order to uncover unethical practices, including bribery and corruption, by senior employees.<\/p>\n<p>CRI\u00ae Group\u2019s investigators quickly launched a risk assessment of the company\u2019s third-party relationships, which included several interviews with identified vendors and suppliers to help ascertain the engagement process and associated risks.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators found one of the vendors used letterhead that lacked a physical address, and the only contact information listed was a single cell phone number. Site visits,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/crigroup.com\/ar\/due-diligence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">background <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/crigroup.com\/ar\/due-diligence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">checks<\/a> and interviews helped determine that the suspicious vendor was not a company at all \u2013 but a single person, and he was none other than the brother-in-law of the client company\u2019s CFO. Worse still was the fact that this obvious fraud was being conducted right under the noses of the company\u2019s procurement and finance professionals.<\/p>\n<p>CRI\u00ae Group investigators discovered that the individual\u2019s residence was being utilised as a warehouse to help facilitate the fraud. Comprehensive litigation records check with local and regional courts found that the subject was previously convicted in federal court and spent three years in prison for the charges of selling counterfeit products, physician samples and expired medicines; further regulatory checks found that his pharmacist license had been cancelled.<\/p>\n<p>The fraud had continued for five years. However, the one thing that saved the company from further financial harm was the fact that employees had stepped forward to report unethical behaviour. If not for their action, the fraud could have continued indefinitely.<\/p>\n<p>Fraud Week reminds us that awareness is any organisation\u2019s first line of defence against fraud and corruption, as properly trained employees will have a better opportunity to recognise the red flags of fraud, and a better understanding of their organisation\u2019s zero-tolerance policy toward such behaviour.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/abacgroup.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CRI\u00ae Group&#8217;s Certification body, ABAC\u00ae Center of Excellence\u00a0<\/a>provides employee training as part of the curriculum for a participating organisation.

However, in today\u2019s business world, some employees work remotely and an online format may be more feasible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Fraud is everybody\u2019s problem, and it cannot be prevented and detected if employees aren\u2019t provided with the information they need to combat it.
