Fraud Risk Assessment is the process aimed at proactively identifying and addressing an organization’s vulnerabilities to internal and external fraud.
The Business Bloodhound can assist you with:

Designing a System of Internal Controls
Having an effective internal control system in place offers several advantages, including: security of the organization’s assets; management’s ability to make decisions based on accurate and reliable financial information; and better management of risk.
