5 What is Fraud? Some common denominators: Intent Deceit Concealment Examples: Bid rigging Creation of ghost employees Submitting multiple reimbursements for same item Fake employment credentials 5

7 Roles and Responsibilities: Prevention and Detection Deputy Head/Board of Directors/Senior Management: Provide strong ethical leadership Establishment, maintenance and monitoring of departmental system of internal controls Develop a fraud awareness program Establish mechanism(s) for reporting fraud Management: Establish and monitor internal controls within areas of responsibility Identify any potential fraud risks within areas of responsibility Discuss with employees any issues related to fraud Employees: Be familiar with organization s code of conduct Be familiar and comply with internal controls and procedures Assist in the identification of any potential fraud risks Immediately notify the appropriate parties when he/she has knowledge or believes a fraud has occurred 7

Fraud audits can be performed if a fraud is suspected or can be performed as part of a detection program. 8
9 Reducing the Risk of Fraud: Effective internal controls Fraud awareness program 9
10 Treasury Board Policy on Internal Control Internal Control is generally recognized as a set of means that organizations put in place to mitigate risks and provide reasonable assurance in the following broad categories: The effectiveness and efficiency of programs, operations and resource management, including safeguarding of assets; The reliability of financial reporting; and Compliance with legislation, regulations, policies and delegated authorities. 10
11 Effective Internal Controls Segregation of duties (e.g. procurement officer cannot issue payments) Reconciliation of bank accounts on a regular basis Safeguards for petty cash Financial policies and procedures are in writing, approved by appropriate party and communicated to employees Background checks before hiring employees Code of conduct for the organization 11
12 Fraud Awareness Program Ethical tone at the top Code of conduct Background checks Processes to report fraud Risk assessments Awareness training 12

14 How to Identify Fraud Red flags are warning signals about the possibility of fraud. The existence of red flags does not mean that a fraud has occurred. Their existence means that further review is required to determine fraud. 14
15 Reporting on Fraud Two perspectives: 1. Reporting of a potential fraud to the appropriate group 2. Reporting investigation results and fraudrelated topics (e.g. effectiveness of fraud awareness program) 15
