CRIME REDUCTION METHODS
Crime Prevention and Crime Preventative Strategies are at times the only barrier to target harden any business. Many businesses suffer from problems ranging from petty theft to fraud and corruption which have a devastating impact on the day to day running of that company. These effects can lead to the company’s finances being attacked, thus having to lay off the workforce due to the lack of cash flow. The obvious solution is to be prepared to meet any eventuality by having in place a robust anti fraud, theft and corruption strategy that involves not only the senior members of staff but all those working within the company.
By putting in place a Zero Tolerance Policy in these matters and educating staff to take ownership of their own particular workplace, the company will benefit in the form of greater performance and loyal staff who are empowered to have pride in those for whom they work.
With the objective of recommending/formulating new and agreed Anti-Fraud, Theft and Corruption Strategies this will lead to individual propriety and best practice. This can only be a win-win situation enjoyed by all members of staff.
Consider the following and ask the question.
Are these in place?
- Cultural Awareness.
- Loyalty issues – Short term contracts – who actually cares?
- Management Awareness
- Procedures – have these been checked? Who has ownership?
- Fraud, theft and corruption response plans
- Collateral Impact
- Do you conduct business overseas? If so, do you know your legal responsibilities
