All organizations are susceptible to fraud, regardless of size, location, type or industry.  The 2008 Association of Certified Fraud Examiners' (ACFE) Report to the Nation on Occupational Fraud and Abuse states that a typical U.S. organization will lose 7% of its annual revenues to fraud.  It is critical that organizations assess the integrity of internal processes and obtain assurance that "typical" will not apply to them.

IntegAssure Resources assists organizations in addressing fraud risks by focusing on the following four areas:

  • Fraud Prevention
  • Fraud Detection
  • Fraud Investigation
  • Fraud Resolution
Organizations typically derive the most benefit by focusing on Fraud Prevention, with the next logical emphasis being Fraud Detection.  Unfortunately, many organizations do not consider themselves vulnerable until it is too late and by then losses are often large and difficult to recover.  We can help you avoid the expense and embarrassment of becoming a victim of fraud.
