LOCKDOWN RISK: INTERNAL FRAUD

Roundtable Discussion, 12:00PM BST, 14 April 2021

Organised by Forums International, and supported by CICM, Graydon and Lockdown Risk, join us for an open roundtable discussion on this important and sensitive topic.

It is an unfortunate reality that fraud can occur from within your organisation. According to Cifas, the most prevalent form of dishonest action was theft of cash from an employer, followed by theft of cash from a customer. What are the appropriate measures for preventing internal fraud and how can we empower staff to raise concerns or any wrongdoing?
