INFORM Joins Movement to Shine a Spotlight on Fraud

INFORM joins hundreds of organizations who have partnered with the ACFE, the world's largest anti-fraud organization and premier provider of anti-fraud training and education, for the yearly Fraud Week campaign. During Fraud Week, official supporters will engage in various activities, including hosting fraud awareness training for employees and the community, conducting employee surveys to assess levels of fraud awareness within their organization, posting articles on company websites and in newsletters and teaming up with local media to highlight the problem of fraud. INFORM is supporting the campaign week on LinkedIn with an extensive program of knowledge sharing and practical tips on fraud prevention. 

“Given the increasing diversity and sophistication of modern fraud schemes, International Fraud Awareness Week is an important initiative to raise awareness of fraud prevention worldwide,” says Roy Prayikulam, Senior Vice President of Risk & Fraud at INFORM. "As a leading provider of fraud prevention solutions, INFORM supports companies worldwide in detecting fraud early and minimizing damage. Our participation in Fraud Awareness Week underscores our commitment to raising awareness and working with other organizations to send a clear message against fraud." 

ACFE president John Gill, J.D., CFE, said that the support of organizations around the world helps make Fraud Week an effective tool in raising anti-fraud awareness. “Fraud is an issue that unfortunately affects people from all walks of life around the world and it takes many forms,” said Gill.  

“Whether it’s a trusted employee stealing from a small business, or organized rings of fraudsters targeting seniors in our community, most people know someone who’s been victimized by fraud. That’s why it’s so important for organizations to join in this fight together to raise awareness during this week. It is a serious problem that requires a proactive approach toward preventing it and educating people is the first step.”
