Toronto, Jan. 30, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fraud is big business—it cost Canadian businesses $30.4 million in 2017.
Developed by BDO Canada in collaboration with SCMA, Supply Chain Fraud: The impact on organizations and mitigating exposure is a comprehensive guide to the most significant fraud-related issues—and strategies to manage them.
Alan Mak, BDO National Forensics Practice leader, notes, “Clients continually ask me to speak to their board to highlight the importance of implementing and maintaining robust systems and controls to prevent fraud.”
BDO case studies included in the guide illustrate strategies to deal with common supply-chain fraud schemes:
FCPA/CFPOA violations
- Bid rigging
- Fraudulent billing
- Counterfeit goods
- Misappropriation of assets
- Cyber-security attacks
“It is imperative that organizations of all sizes protect themselves from fraud. Companies do little to protect themselves,” said Christian Alan Buhagiar, SCMA president.
In the era of Industry 4.0, ultra-high efficiency production, and borderless commerce, supply-chain management is a vital strategic function.
