Anti Fraud Policies

There are various forms of policy that can help you in the fight against fraud in your business. At the very least you should have:

• A Code of Conduct

• An Anti-Fraud Strategy;

• A Fraud Response Plan;

• A Whistle-blowing Policy.

Policies alone, however, cannot ensure that the appropriate controls to prevent employee fraud are maintained. It is extremely important to communicate to all staff that fraud will not be tolerated.

This is only achieved by taking action and not condoning low-level fraud, for example petty pilfering of stationery or the inflation of business expenses.

The anti-fraud culture must be endorsed and followed at all levels meaning that it applies to managers and high-achievers just as much as any other employee.
