What anti-fraud measures do you take in your company?
Problems businesses face
Organizations that fail to fulfil their debt-servicing and repayment commitments and have a questionable reputation pose a risk.
Such instances can point to money or asset withdrawals, for example when the company’s net profits decrease while revenues go up with no plans to increase expenditure.
Disputes occur when shareholder rights are infringed to secure more favorable terms or control assets, with little intervention from other shareholders.
Suspicions arise if the company’s targets are not met, unexpected losses occur, or employees provide conflicting accounts of certain actions.
Such transactions involve either unfavorable terms or fake transactions that are already causing losses.
Sometimes management act against the company’s interests in order to illicitly withdraw or embezzle assets.
