But whoever commits the act, it needs to be handled with the utmost discretion.

Fraud is often well concealed. It involves misappropriation, embezzlement, manufacturing or stock understatement, bogus vendors, procurement or supplier fraud, payroll skimming, false expense reporting, kickbacks, secret commissions and overstated claims.

Police and regulators often cannot deal with corporate crime. And it can work to your advantage to deal with the matter in-house, or have your lawyers pursue a resolve in the civil courts.

If you don't deal with fraud it will only become a larger issue. This impacts on shareholder confidence, regulatory sensitivities, the strength of your market position and your brand reputation.
