Workplace Corruption and Fraud are evolving. The availability of fraud tool kits, the rise in supply chain and ESG-related fraud, and AI platforms all create an environment for highly successful and profitable crime.

Increasingly sophisticated schemes that often go undetected for years, and were once isolated incidents, have become indicative of a broader trend that threatens the integrity of businesses worldwide.

Fraud Response and Prevention

Employee fraud has always been a risk, but continued remote work and reduced supervision is leaving companies more vulnerable.

Polygamous working, involving multiple jobs, poses risks such as data theft and time abuse, though its full impact is not yet fully understood due to intelligence gaps across all sectors.

Economic downturns often create motivations for financial crime, with proven incidents of senior managers and executives under pressure resorting to fraudulent activities to hide losses or meet targets.

In response to these evolving pressures, regulatory bodies are introducing new rules and expectations for companies to tackle internally-focused crime more proactively. This typically results in growing scrutiny of senior managers and an expectation that they will take concrete steps to improve and uphold internal controls.

At United Outcomes, we specialise in supporting private sector organisations in managing and mitigating fraud risks. Fraud can have devastating effects on a business, leading to significant financial losses, legal consequences, and damage to reputation. Our team of experts is committed to helping you detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent activities, either internally or within any tier of your supply chain, safeguarding your organisation’s assets and integrity.
