Fraud exists in varying levels in every business enterprise. The level of
fraud experienced depends on three factors.
The decision to commit fraud is considered choice based on these factors:
- OPPORTUNITY - A way to gain a benefit
- RISK - The chance of being detected.
- REWARD - The benefit
Fraud Risk is measured in terms of “consequence and likelihood.” Some risks will
be accepted, unacceptable risks will be treated but in order to assess risks,
they must be identified.
Fraud Risk Management Services Pty. Ltd. will work with the company management to:
- Reduce the opportunity of fraud through cultural change and employee awareness.
- Increase risk of detection through sound fraud prevention strategies.
- Reduce the level of reward by limiting exposure to high fraud risk activities.

Most business plans do not include fraud protection because the methods fraud
