Developement of an Anti-Fraud Program

2 part assignment essay and powerpoint

Option #1: Development of an Anti-Fraud Program

This Portfolio Project option has two parts: a written report and a PowerPoint presentation.

A typical organization loses a certain percentage of annual
revenue to fraud. The potential for fraud occurs in all organizations,
regardless of the industry in which it operates, financial structure, or
size. Every organization is vulnerable to fraud. The risk of fraud
should be reduced as much as possible to improve the longevity of the
organization. Hence, preventing, deterring, and detecting fraud are
crucial to the success of organizations. Deterring and preventing fraud
can be more economical than detecting, investigating, and recovering
from fraud after the fact. These anti-fraud measures must start at the
top and must be communicated throughout the organization. They must go
beyond internal controls yet consider the cost-benefit.

Develop an anti-fraud program, or model, that can be
implemented in any organization. In other words, don’t apply the model
to a specific organization. The model, if applied correctly, must be
efficient in preventing, detecting and deterring fraud. At minimum, your
model must address the following factors:

• Fraud risk assessment
• Employees’ Code of Conduct
• Policies and procedures to prevent, deter, and detect fraud
• Technical tools to prevent, deter, and detect fraud (i.e. SQL, ODBC, Digital Analysis, etc.)
• Cost-benefit analysis
