Integrity and Ethics Services

Fraud can have very serious and long lasting implications for a business $mdash; from large financial losses to diminished reputation and protracted proceedings. The threat of fraud is unfortunate but real and organisations need to take steps to manage the risks.

Over the past two years Australia and New Zealand lost in excess of $456.7 million due to fraud. This equates to an average of $2.07 million lost to fraud by each organisation. 45 percent of organisations experienced at least one fraud and 6 percent had suffered multiple frauds (62 percent detected between 2 to 10 instances) and sustained losses.

Fraud and other irregular behaviours can expose organisations to direct financial loss as well as tarnished reputations, poor staff morale, impaired customer / supplier relationships, and the non-productive expenditure of management energy and time.
