The Statistics Are Alarming
Fraud is on the rise! A recent study determined that 90% of all U.S. corporations are experiencing employee-perpetrated fraud to some degree. Even more alarming is that less than 10% of this fraud was either detected or prosecuted!
Internal fraud costs organizations in the U.S. $400 billion each year with the average company losing $9 a day to employees. Are you exposing your business to fraud?
You Must Create The Impression That Someone Is Watching
A simple but effective internal control structure can drastically reduce your chances of becoming a victim! Internal control consists of five interrelated components as follows:
- Control environment sets the tone of the organization, influencing the control consciousness of its employees.
- Risk assessment is the company’s identification and analysis of risks relevant to the achievement of its corporate objectives.
- Control activities are the policies and procedures that help ensure that management directives are carried out.
- Information and communication are the identification, capture, and exchange of information in a form and time frame that enable people to carry out their responsibilities.
- Monitoring is the process that assures the quality of internal control performance over time.
Be sure to ask about our fraud deterrence package which provides you with a multi-tiered assessment of the design and operating effectiveness of your internal controls and recommendations for improvement.
