The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) describes itself as “The world’s largest anti-fraud organisation and premier provider of anti-fraud training and education”. Each year it declares this week International Fraud Awareness Week and uses the time to highlight via its website a range of free resources and worldwide events taking place to raise highlight fraud related issues.
You may find the helpful free shareable videos useful to watch and disseminate in your institution – they explain some of the basics, like how money is laundered and what is identity theft, in a really simple way. Also, their great infographic illustrates really well 6 behavioural red flags which are almost always displayed by fraud perpetrators and can therefore be used to help organisations detect fraud and mitigate losses. If you have some time, it is well worth a look and will provide you with lots to think about and share in your institution.
