Bribery Schemes Part 1: Preventing Fraud in Third-Party Transactions

 

Though we may believe that bribery schemes and fraud will never impact us, the truth is that no company is exempt from these risks. It is vital that compliance professionals and companies understand the risks and mechanisms used to implement the schemes if they hope to prevent bribery and fraud in third-party transactions.

In corporate bribery schemes, there is generally a "pot of money" created within a business organization to "fund" a scheme. In such cases, employees often use existing corporate processes, such as engagements with third parties, to fund these schemes. 

In part 1 of this 3-part webinar series, we highlighted the various methods used to fund bribery schemes via third-party transactions and how to detect and prevent these schemes in your organization.
