Abstract

Over the past few years, the spotlight has been on large corporate frauds. These resulted from cash management systems devoid of adequate controls and governance.

But about half of all frauds occur in small businessesβ€”and the effect is often devastating. The average loss for any small business fraud scheme was found to be greater than in any other business‐size category.

Since fraud generally starts smallβ€”even in large companiesβ€”everyone can benefit from sharpening their cash management fraud prevention. This article examines five cases of smaller frauds that could lead to large cash losses. And the authors give advice on how to better detect and prevent such frauds in the future.
