Fraud Prevention, Detection and Investigation

---

A median estimate is that fraud costs organizations 5% of revenues annually. Applied to the 2017 estimated Gross World Product it is a potential loss of up to 4 trillion dollars worldwide.  

More Fraud Facts…The median loss suffered by small organizations (those fewer than 100 employees) was nearly twice that incurred by larger organizations (those with greater than 100 employees).  Note: Median losses of $200,000 were suffered by organizations with less than 100 employees.  (Source for the above: ACFEsm 2018 Report to the Nations on Occupational Fraud and Abuse)
