The word ‘fraud’ is often understood to mean the covert theft of financial assets within business; however, fraud has many facets. Kroll’s Global Fraud Report 2008/2009 examines the world trends in fraud and also provides information on many other aspects of the subject and associated investigations which are an excellent source of guidance and advice.
The report is available in downloadable PDF through the following link, along with other resources concerning issues such as supply chain fraud and investigation procedures.

ARC has a range of Fraud and Investigation courses available throughout 2009 which deal in detail with the issues raised in reports such as Kroll’s and provide an essential tool for those involved in preventing fraud and in managing investigations into suspected fraudulent activity.
