Title: Knowledge is Power: Tips for Preventing and Detecting Employee Fraud

Employment fraud is a real and growing problem. There are steps organizations can take to prevent it and mitigate the damage it can cause. For years, financial institutions have been taught that a key to preventing fraud if to “know your customer.” The same is true for organizations, which should “know their employees.” When an organization knows its employees and understands their motivations, it can do more to protect the organization against employee fraud.

1. • Know your workers. If you know your workers’ personalities, you can predict the types of fraud they are likely to engage in.
   • There is nothing new under the sun. Even technology-related fraud consists of new forms of old schemes. 
   • If you understand what motivates people, you can more effectively design systems to prevent and detect fraud.
