Corporate fraud is on the rise. Losses attributable to corporate fraud were estimated at $600 billion in 2002, up from $400 billion in 1996. Employee theft alone costs American businesses between $60 and $120 billion a year. Aside from unscrupulous employees and third parties, a major contributing factor to corporate fraud is simply a lack of awareness of it.
Dishonest employees prey on unsuspecting co-workers and supervisors, and clever third-parties use so-called 'social engineering tactics to penetrate a company's defenses. Because successful fraud schemes are hard to detect, everyone from rank-and-file employees to executives needs at least a basic knowledge of how these schemes work and what the warning signs are.
