Fraud doesn’t just happen to other businesses—it can happen to yours. Fraudsters are relentless, and their targets are everywhere: emails, payments, customer interactions, and even unsuspecting employees. From high-profile schemes like Hushpuppi, who defrauded businesses of millions of dollars, to the day-to-day scams that fly under the radar, no organization is immune.
The Fraud-Free Workplace is more than just a course—it’s a comprehensive fraud prevention solution designed to protect your company from becoming the next statistic.
The Stark Reality of Business Losses
The financial toll of fraud is staggering:
- United States: Businesses and consumers faced over $10 billion in losses in 2023 alone.
- United Kingdom: Fraud costs exceeded £1.17 billion, with nearly 3 million cases reported.
- Canada: Businesses experienced a 28% increase in fraud-related losses, costing $4.45 for every $1 in fraud losses.
These numbers reflect the universal threat of scams and fraud targeting businesses of all sizes, in every sector.
What’s worse? Fraudsters don’t just target IT departments or finance teams—they exploit any weak point in your organization. From an intern unknowingly clicking on a phishing email to an executive approving a fraudulent invoice, loss can come through anyone.
