Fraud & Corruption Summit 6th – 8th April 2011, Copenhagen

Fraud & Corruption Riskability® Workshop

Risk Management, Corporate Governance & Compliance all play a key role in identifying those elements of a business' or government's activities most vulnerable to fraud, corruption & financial crime. The recent credit and financial crisis proved once again that with the historic approach to Risk Management, risks are often recognized, only when it is too late to take any effective action. There needs to be a better way of recognizing & dealing with risk earlier & more effectively. In other words the 'Riskability' approach, involving:

Retroactive identification of Corporate Governance, Risk Management and Compliance (GRC) issues. When a key risk has crystallized and had an adverse impact, the question must be 'could the risk not have been predicted?'
Focus on identifying the events that create risks, & attempts to identify them early.
Extends to the creation of a roadmap, framework, exercise and integration, thus enabling the enterprise to embed a proactive approach to its structured fraud risk management activities

Failure to identify significant 'Bad' risk should not be allowed to happen, however Riskability recognizes and permits the option to take calculated risks. The concept of risk has the advantage of being applicable to both continuing events and to single events. If the risk was not predictable, how can it be possible to determine how to prevent it?

The Riskability® solution fights Fraud and Corruption by;

Reducing the likelihood of fraud and corruption occurrences by taking a coordinated monitoring and controlling approach to managing the consequences.

The Riskability® strategy and approach includes fraud and corruption schemes in the Riskability® control framework including;

How to create a culture that recognizes the need of zero-tolerance course of action, on all fraud and corruption incidents.
How to ensure continued management commitment to the root causes
How to leverage the corporate guiding principles, that promote a high level of awareness that encourages and identifies the 'red flag' indicators of fraud and corruption.

The implementation cost and measures to prevent and detect fraud is insignificant compared to the cost of investigating fraud and corruption incidents. Riskability compliance to fraud and corruption mandates is a necessary cost of doing business from a social, ethical and reputational standpoint

In today's globalised economy, fraud and corruption can easily set off a chain of events resulting in serious financial and reputational loss for the corporation.

There is growing consciousness that crimes related to fraud and corruption issues, undermine the trust in government, companies, and markets alike. Corporations not only must recognize the problem, but set out clear ways and means for dealing with both issues.

Riskability is a methodology for those seeking to manage fraud and corruption risks by providing an operational roadmap for assessing, preventing, detecting, and responding to fraud and corruption risks, when they occur.
Riskability methodology offers a holistic approach to the management of fraud and corruption risk and its relationship to productivity, profitability and conventional Governance and Compliance processes.
The Riskability approach explains why fraud and corruption are serious issues for organizations.
The Riskability approach clarifies how to prevent and detect the devastating fallout from fraud and corruption crimes.

Riskability manages the relationships among the board of directors, the audit committee, senior management, and staff in the process of fraud and corruption management, offering clear guidance to avoid future fraud and corruption occurrences.
