Introduction
Risk Management has been developed to assist public sector agencies in understanding essential risk management issues pertaining to infrastructure procurement, and in particular public-private partnerships. Risks can apply to all levels of an organization or project. Corporate risk is typically reflective of the aggregate of all potential negative events or opportunities across an entire organization. Periodically, the latest major fraud hits the headlines as other organizations sit back and watch, telling themselves that ‘it couldn’t happen here.’ But the reality is that fraud can happen anywhere. While only relatively few major frauds are picked up by the media, huge sums are lost by all kinds of businesses as a result of the high number of smaller frauds that are committed. Despite the serious risk that fraud presents to businesses, many organizations still do not have formal systems and procedures in place to prevent, detect, and respond to fraud. While no system is completely foolproof, there are steps that can be taken to deter fraud and make it much less attractive to commit. A major reason why people commit fraud is that they are allowed to do so. There is a wide range of threats facing businesses. The threat of fraud can come from inside or outside the organization, but the likelihood that fraud will be committed is greatly decreased if the potential fraudster believes that the rewards will be modest, that they will be detected, or that the potential punishment will be unacceptably high. It is in assisting organizations in taking such steps that this course should prove valuable.
