The threat is real

Your company is already a target. The question is whether you’re ready or not.

48% Cases involve corruption

Nearly half of all fraud cases involved corruption — kickbacks, bribes, and extortion. These are the hardest to detect and the most damaging to company culture.

24% INCREASE IN MEDIAN LOSESS

Median fraud losses jumped 24% compared to 2022. Remote work, reduced oversight, and economic pressure are creating the perfect conditions for fraud to thrive.

52% Tips come from employees

More than half of fraud is detected through tips — mostly from employees. Yet most companies still lack proper reporting channels and fraud-awareness training.

25 years. Dozens of industries. Thousands of cases

Over a 25-year career spanning forensic accounting, corporate investigations, and executive risk consulting, as a group we´ve uncovered fraud across every function of the business — from the mailroom to the C-suite. We´ve worked with publicly traded companies, family businesses, nonprofits, and government entities. What we found along the way is that most fraud is entirely preventable — once you know what to look for.
This course is the distillation of everything we´ve learned across hundreds of real cases: the patterns fraudsters rely on, the blind spots organizations create, and the exact controls that stop fraud before it starts.

The cost of waiting

Every month without protection is another month of exposure.



Fraud doesn’t wait until you’re ready. Schemes run on average for 18 months before detection — and the longer they run, the worse the damage.

What happens if you don’t act

The average fraud scheme costs $145,000 — often far more in companies without proper controls.
Smaller businesses typically absorb fraud losses as a larger % of revenue with fewer resources to recover.
Reputational damage, employee morale losses, and legal fees multiply the financial hit significantly.
70% of businesses report increasing fraud losses year over year — the risk is not static.
Most fraud is preventable with the right knowledge, controls, and culture in place.

From professionals who’ve been through it.
