Notable Quotes:

“But when you think about it, we have a lot of external factors, such as the rise of cryptocurrency, which is riddled with fraud and corruption risk. New methods of cyber-based fraud, which didn’t exist, say, 2016, the 2010s before that. Rise of ransomware in particular, which wasn’t quite a big thing back then that it is all over the place now.”

“Most frauds, you the risk management function, you might never catch them. By looking for them, you’ll have to depend on somebody else coming to you from the enterprise, say, I think this person over here is doing something sketchy.”

“Fraud is having a moment. And fraud risk is on the forefront of many people’s minds from many different areas.”

“We need to do better at finding ways to assess and understand your fraud risk and then implementing new controls as necessary to push that risk down to acceptable levels.”
