Protecting the perimeter: The rise of external fraud
PwC’s Global Economic Crime and Fraud Survey 2022
International Fraud Awareness Week
Protecting your company from fraudulent activities and adequately respond after a potential fraud case was identified
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. In response, companies are compelled to reevaluate their strategies for combating corporate fraud, a complex and multifaceted challenge.
Our global survey on economic crime provides an important fact: 46 percent of companies globally have encountered economic crime in the past two years.
Covering a spectrum from money laundering and financial sanctions to crypto and digital fraud, our Forensic Services experts are supporting companies to combat all types of economic crime. As part of the International Fraud Awareness Week organized by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, our objective is to increase awareness regarding various fraud risks your company may face. Below, we have outlined a range of fraud scenarios worth your attention. For more details on our service offering, please visit our website and explore the provided links.
