Best practices and tools for implementing, improving and benchmarking your fraud risk management program.
COSO and the ACFE Publish Fraud Risk Management Guide
In 1992, the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) released its Internal Control—Integrated Framework, a framework recognized worldwide for designing, implementing and conducting internal control. COSO revised this original framework in 2013 to include 17 additional principles to assist in creating an effective internal control system. One of these principles, Principle 8, specifically addresses the importance of organizations considering "the potential for fraud in assessing risks to the achievement of objectives."
To provide best-practices guidance for organizations when implementing this principle, COSO partnered with the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) to create the Fraud Risk Management Guide. The report, along with the tools and resources on this site, is designed to aid organizations in effectively establishing a comprehensive fraud risk management program.
