Intense financial pressures during the economic crisis have led to an increase of fraud, according to a survey of fraud experts conducted by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE). It is against this backdrop that the ACFE urges organizations worldwide to participate in International Fraud Awareness Week, November 8-14, 2009 to help cast a spotlight on this urgent problem.
This weeklong campaign encourages business leaders and employees to proactively take steps to minimize the impact of fraud by promoting anti-fraud awareness and education.
You and your organization can help make a positive impact in the fight against fraud by taking the following steps today:
