Employee fraud (or “occupational fraud”) is when an employee takes advantage of his or her position to steal company assets and benefit personally. Fraud is very difficult to detect and can take several forms, including data theft, bribery, and corruption. Even minor incidents of fraud can damage a company’s financial health.

When travel and expense policies are formalized and well understood, it can cut down on expense fraud and lead to significant cost savings.
