"It could never happen here"
Fraud is big business with annual global losses in excess of $7 billion USD.
It happens to companies, municipalities and organizations of all sizes and types.
"Our auditors will catch it"
External auditing serves many essential purposes but fraud detection is not one of them.
Audits detect only 3% of fraud -- more than double that amount (7%) is discovered by accident.
"My staff would never do that"
The vast majority of people who commit fraud are first-time offenders.
They're often employees who live in the community. There's no single face of someone who commits fraud.
