Why is this relevant today?
The risks impacting finance and accounting departments are at their highest levels in history. The rapid evolution of A.I. and its potential for nefarious use by internal employees and external fraudsters alike have made the task of identifying and preventing potential risks a near-impossible task for Finance and IT teams. In its 2024 Report to the Nations, the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners found that 89% of occupational fraud cases in its study period were tied to Asset Misappropriation, which represent “an employee stealing or misusing the employing organization’s resources.” Financial process, especially Accounts Payable, are fraught with opportunity. Organizations must develop adequate internal controls to protect its assets in the first place, but when fraud is inevitably attempted, collaboration between Finance, IT, and technology providers can make all the difference in successful mitigation.
