As businesses grow, the vulnerabilities to fraud grow as well. The complexity of today’s business transactions, information and systems provides widespread opportunities for sophisticated employees or managers to engage in unacceptable behavior.

Mergers, acquisitions, downsizing and restructuring, though successful in strategic terms, may create opportunities for fraud and have corrosive impact on corporate loyalty. These and many other factors have contributed to increases in corporate crime and losses in virtually every industry. Without ever knowing it was at risk, a company victimized by fraud can find itself the subject of a criminal or civil investigation. Whether companies survive the experience or emerge stronger from it ultimately depends on the attitudes and internal processes in place to prevent and control fraud.
