Did you know that organizations lose an average of 5% of their annual revenue to fraud?1

Participating in the ACFE Corporate Alliance, as part of a proactive anti-fraud program, can help protect your organization.

A 2010 study2 found that fraudulent activities within U.S. public companies have

significant negative consequences for investors and executives. These companies

often experience bankruptcy, delisting from a stock exchange or asset sale, and

in many cases the CEO and/or CFO were named for alleged involvement. With

devastating examples like Enron, WorldCom and Parmalat, it is vital for companies

to take significant steps to combat fraud.

How do you know if the Corporate Alliance is right for you?Does your organization:

5 Have 10 or more people involved in anti-fraud efforts?

5 Seek to further protect itself from devastating fraud losses?

5 Lack a team-based approach to your anti-fraud training program?

5 Need to publicly convey your commitment to fighting fraud?

If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, the Corporate Alliance

Program may be a fit for your organization.

Occupational fraud does not discriminate — it takes place in all

departments within an organization. Membership within the ACFE

reaches across all job functions — internal audit, compliance,

investigations, risk, loss prevention, IT, security, legal, etc.

The ACFE Corporate Alliance supports the implementation of anti-fraud best practices in large organizations by

giving all of your team access to tools, training and resources from the ACFE. Participation denotes a commit-

ment to the fight against fraud and is designed to ensure your organization is up to speed on solid fundamen-

tals and the latest trends.
