It Can't Happen Here

When we are asked to speak about fraud at conferences, attendees will sometimes say

"that could never happen in our organization"

I wish that was true.   I wish I didn't pick up the local paper and see articles on embezzlements at local companies, nonprofits, churches, and youth sports organizations throughout the year.  I wish I didn't read the articles and realize that in most of the cases, the fraud could have been prevented.

This article here discusses the damage that a fraud can do to a nonprofits reputation and signs to look for in your organization.
