The
aim of risk and fraud management is to make use of security specialists
to
evaluate and implement measures,
which eliminates factors that could or are currently affecting business
profits.
Proactive measures
to identify or pre-empt commercial crime send a powerful anti-crime
message across a company and clearly indicates a ‘zero-tolerance’
philosophy.
This risk and fraud
management is conducted in an objective manner, which eliminates the
fact that management could disregard certain factors due to their
personal interest or relationship to individuals or procedures. It
further provides management the freedom to concentrate on their core
functions.
People and property are the most important assets of a company,
and its preservation and security is essential for a company’s continued
growth and survival.
Security is based on
the principle of concentric circles, which are interrelated measures
implemented to secure personnel, prevent the loss of assets, and secure
the company against criminal threat and attack.
Analysis of the threat will determine the type of defence implemented,
and will have a direct influence on the operational process and
resultant procedures that flow from it.
It is important for a
business to ensure that all
security measures
are in place to counter possible losses, both in the micro and macro
environment. These measures are divided into five areas; Personnel-,
Material-, Information-, Computer- and Physical-Security.
Precautionary measures
built into the five disciplines will ensure that your business acts
proactive, which ensures better control over your company.
