Does Fraud concern you?
According to research conducted by the
Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE), U.S.
organizations lose an estimated 5 percent of annual revenues
to fraud. Based on the U.S. Gross Domestic Product in 2006
-$13,037 billion - this percentage indicates a staggering
estimate of losses around $652 billion among organizations,
despite an increased emphasis on anti-fraud controls and
recent legislation to combat fraud.
