The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners estimates that some three and half trillion pounds is lost through staff fraud/theft. The impacts on staff morale, internal trust, corporate reputation, not to say finances are amongst the impacts felt. Dishonesty amongst staff takes many forms, from petty fiddling at work to large scale theft and fraud. It includes those at the lower levels of an organisation to senior executives and all grades in between. Sometimes staff work with colleagues and sometimes outsiders. Staff are well placed to exploit weaknesses and loopholes in operations, which can make them a target for exploitation by (organised) criminals. In this webinar we will examine:

The extent to which staff dishonesty presents a different threat following the pandemic
The main challenges posed by staff dishonesty and the types of loopholes being exploited
The key prevention strategies
