Résumé: Environmental, geopolitical, financial and social pressures are creating a risk landscape that is more volatile than ever. This volatility complicates the challenge of preventing fraud and other economic crime. As organisations act quickly to navigate change, bad actors look to exploit the potentially widening cracks in fraud defences.
Are sufficient controls in place for the myriad new digital technologies being deployed? Are enterprises managing risks related to a sustained hybrid work environment? Have organisations implemented the appropriate policies and incentives as they emerge from the pandemic into an uncertain economy? What, exactly, is the fraud risk that companies face today?
Years of effort to combat fraud through policies, training, internal controls and monitoring have helped to tamp down internally driven misconduct, even in a volatile risk environment. Meanwhile, new, more impactful threats have been brewing. This year’s Global Economic Crime and Fraud Survey shows that organisations’ perimeters are vulnerable, and external fraudsters are emerging as a bigger threat.
