Internal fraud and unethical conduct
When integrity within your organisation is under pressure
Unethical behaviour and internal fraud occur in many organisations – possibly in yours as well. The impact can be significant, both financially and in terms of reputation. You need to know how to mitigate risks and how to respond when issues arise.
From warning signs to serious risks
Internal fraud and unethical conduct can take many forms. From directors or managers abusing their position to employees committing fraud or acting in conflict of interest. The consequences are often far-reaching. In addition to financial loss, reputational damage can be severe.
This is why prevention and clear policies are essential. Make sure rules of conduct are well defined and that employees understand what is and is not acceptable. If there are indications of unethical behaviour, swift action is required – for example by suspending those involved and initiating an internal investigation.
