AS businesses wade through the new landscape, boosting digital transformation initiatives, improving work-from-home arrangements and securing data from cyberattacks are just some key areas of focus of most companies. Against this background remains an age-old issue that organizations continue to face and address - fraud in the workplace.

Occupational fraud is defined by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) as the use of one's employment or occupation to deliberately misuse or misapply his or her organization's resources or assets. The end benefit may be personal enrichment. Occupational fraud can be committed by employees across all corporate levels, from rank-and-file, supervisors and managers to top executives.
