Section:FRAUD
Audits and hotlines stack up as the bestcrime busters in a new ACFE study.
Occupational fraud has become--at least so far--the crime of the 21st century. It is a widespread phenomenon that affects practically every organization. The frauds in the 2004 Report to the Nation on Occupational Fraud and Abuse, from the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, caused over $761 million in total losses, with a disproportionate percentage committed against small businesses--almost half of the frauds in the study took place in businesses with fewer than 100 employees. Not surprisingly such businesses are less likely to be audited or employ antifraud measures than the larger ones.
Several broad conclusions can be drawn from the 2004 report. First, though the losses have been stable over the years, the fact that in one year alone they are approaching $660 billion is cause for concern. Dishonest executives and employees are plying essentially the same schemes with the same results. Second, although large financial statement frauds receive the most attention, they are relatively uncommon compared to asset misappropriations and corruption. Third, small businesses remain the most vulnerable to occupational fraud because of three factors: They are the least likely to have an audit, a hotline or adequate internal controls. Fourth, audits--both internal and external--although excellent prevention devices are not the most effective means of detecting frauds. Fifth, hotlines and other reporting mechanisms are a vital part of any organization's prevention efforts but should go beyond employees to vendors and customers, too. Finally, occupational fraud cannot be eliminated but organizations that use both hotlines and auditors can greatly reduce these costly crimes.
Occupational fraud schemes can be as simple as pilferage of company supplies or as complex as sophisticated financial statement frauds. This article summarizes some of the key findings of certified fraud examiners (CFEs) in cases they investigated. Internal and external auditors and CPAs advising small business clients will learn of the most effective antifraud measures.
MEASURING THE COST OF FRAUD
Determining the true cost of occupational fraud is an impossible task. Because fraud is a crime based on concealment, organizations often do not know when they are being victimized. Many frauds never are detected or are caught only after they have gone on for several years. Many of those are never reported or prosecuted. In fact, there is no agency or organization that is specifically charged with gathering comprehensive fraud-relat.
Given that most companies are struggling to achieve healthy growth in the current climate, fraudulent activity cannot be tolerated, however minor some of the individual ‘crimes’ being committed appear to be.
While the typical employee misdemeanour may not be on the same scale as those that transpired from the recent MPs’ expenses scandal, the amounts involved soon add up and can present a risk to company profits.
Alarmingly, KPMG uncovered a dramatic increase in the number of cases involving the exploitation of weak internal controls – up to 74% in 2011 from 49% in 2007. This suggests that many organisations are not adequately protecting themselves from losses incurred through employee crime.
It is also likely that the problems are more widespread and costly than these surveys suggest, since many cases of fraud go unreported either because companies are failing to monitor and measure instances of internal crimes, particularly below a certain threshold, or because they prefer to handle any cases that do emerge internally to minimise any negative PR.
