Having an anti-fraud program in place allows companies to prevent, detect and promptly face potential inappropriate behaviors which may involve fraud, corruption or irregularities within an organisation. An antifraud program has three components:
- Prevention:
- Prepare and Review the Code of Conduct and Ethical Awareness
- Identify Process-Based Anti-Fraud Controls and Risks
- Implement Compliance and Ethics Programs
- Perform Background Checks of employees, clients and suppliers
- Provide training in Anti-Corruption Standards (FCPA, UK Bribery Act, Anti-Corruption Act, Brazilian Law and Money Laundering Laws)
- Detection:
- Administration and Implementation of Ethical Program
- Forensic Processes Audit (red flags)
- Regulation Compliance Audits (FCPA, UK Bribery Act, Anti-Corruption and Money Laundering Laws)
- Response:
- Investigation of corporate frauds and inappropriate behavior
