Fraudulent activities pose a significant challenge to businesses globally. According to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) 2022 Report to the Nations, the median loss due to occupational fraud was $117,000, and the total global loss exceeded $3.6 Billion.
Vendor fraud can take different forms, including billing schemes, inflated invoices, kickbacks, and collusion. Fraudulent vendors may overcharge for goods or services, submit fictitious invoices, or manipulate procurement processes for personal gain. These activities can result in financial losses, damaged reputations, and compromised business relationships.
The DOJ and the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) have pursued a number of companies for FCPA violations, including kickbacks, payments to consultants, unjustified fees, and employing excessive means to influence professionals in various sectors.
As businesses grow and develop, the potential for fraud, bribery, and corruption increases. Bribery can be recognized in different forms, including procurement corruption, improper marketing practices, misuse of positions of power, unjust reimbursement claims, fraud, and embezzlement. Factors such as duplicate invoices, inflated pricing, fictitious vendors, and collusion can lead to financial losses through vendor overpayments.
