The whole world is currently facing a polycrisis – companies are still observing the impact of the covid pandemic as well as the impact of geopolitical tensions, climate change, and challenges in energy and raw material supply. These factors collectively erode the resilience of economies and companies. Economic crises notably increase fraud risks. The ongoing polycrisis creates an environment conducive to fraudulent activities, originating from both external and internal perpetrators.
