Hello,
Thanks for sharing. And thanks Benjamin for writing this.
I hope this page can help to prevent fraud in organizations by highlighting the risks and good practices with them.
I strongly agree with a lot of what the document is saying. Especially with the verification of expenses and even more with the separation of powers.
I think we can go beyond with this document. Even if internal frauds are the sneakiest, the external frauds are the most common (based on what I can see on the other side of the desk, in my daily job). Some process or good practices about external frauds can be shared in this document too, I assume.
I don't know if you still have the "audit form" to assess the process and governance of internal control. It might be interesting to share it again for organizations which want to know their strengths and weaknesses, and then improve themselves or ask for advices.
Anyway, I will be more than happy to help on that topic.
Best,
--
