This week is Fraud Awareness Week. Fraud can strike any organisation, and its impact can be devastating - damaged reputations, financial loss and erosion of trust. Did you know: 👉Global fraud costs organisations an estimated $5 trillion each year * 👉More than half of occupational frauds occur due to a lack of internal controls or an override of existing internal controls ** As leaders, board members and councillors play a crucial role in setting the tone for fraud prevention. This Fraud Awareness Week, let's focus on proactive governance to protect organisations and stakeholders from fraud risks. Here are 3 steps to stay vigilant: 1. Build a culture of integrity from the top down. Clear policies, ethical leadership, and an open-door policy can deter fraudulent behaviours. 2. Regularly review financial statements, identify inconsistencies, and use real-time data analytics to flag unusual activity. 3. Ensure board members and staff are educated on the latest fraud risks and best practices for mitigation. Knowledge is your first line of defence. At Stellar, we’re committed to empowering boards with the tools to mitigate risks while fostering transparency and accountability. *https://lnkd.in/gp8iAUBA **https://lnkd.in/gF96MFDv

Striking the right balance between innovation and risk can transform how organisations achieve growth. Swipe for 5 key strategies that board members and councillors should consider: 🛡️ Define and align on risk appetite: Collaboration between board members and executive teams is essential. By clearly defining and aligning on risk appetite, organisations create a unified vision of acceptable risks. This alignment serves as a safety net, enabling innovation to thrive. 🔍 Establish a proactive risk management culture: Moving beyond traditional reactive approaches is crucial.
