Business fraud is a growing issue in this challenging economic environment. According to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) in 2008, U.S. organizations lose an estimated 7 percent of annual revenues to fraud. The growth in the complexity of financial systems and the globalization of business processes challenge any organization to prevent and detect fraud.
