The Internal Audit Fraud ChallengePrevention, protection, detection |
Economic uncertainty and changes to the regulatory landscape since 2010 have continued to push fraud risk to the front of company agendas. Deloitte UK’s "Internal audit fraud challenge: Prevention, protection, detection" report seeks to uncover how these factors have influenced companies’ focus on fraud risk and understand what impact this is having on the role of internal audit.
Nearly half (43 percent) of internal audit heads surveyed indicated that their entity’s vulnerability to fraud risk had increased in the last 12 months. Further key findings include:
- 76 percent believe economic uncertainty is generating board level discussion around enhancing fraud risk monitoring
- 58 percent of respondents believe changes in regulation and legislation are leading to an increased focus on fraud risk management
- 40 percent of respondents do not use data analytics despite the acknowledged value of analytic techniques but over a quarter (28 percent) plan to implement them in the next 12 months
