FRAUD is a problem that undermines the stability and financial health of organisations in every economic sector across the world. It is not a victimless crime - but one that reduces the value of companies for shareholders, undermines job security for employees, piles additional costs on consumers, denies the quality of public services for taxpayers, and even robs the beneficiaries of charities of the full donation benefits. In the mining industry, fraud increases the price of raw materials, reduces the profitability of the companies that mine them, and diminishes the beneficial effect of this work on the economies of host countries. It is a pressing problem, more so now than ever before as the sector gets to grip with an unprecedented combination of economic, political and financial changes.
