There are 4 top ways to cover up fraud, as reported by Report to The Nation 2020. All of these methods are related to documents; such as falsifying entire physical and electronic documents or changing some of the contents of documents. Research conducted by the 2019 Breach Report Data states that as many as 2,013 documents were publicly disclosed to be falsified, which resulted in estimated losses of $ 2.1 million.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some ways that fraud perpetrators usually take to falsify documents:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Modifying the document<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A modified document is an original document with several changes. The perpetrators\u00a0may\u00a0change or delete information contained in the document. They may\u00a0affix a fake signature or stamp or add an image to the original document. Blank stolen documents can also be categorized as modified documents, where blank documents are filled with information that is inappropriate \u2013\u00a0this is usually the case with manufacturing companies.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Creating a new document<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Like fake money, new documents that are created are imitations or replications of original documents. Typically, fraudsters order illegal documents with made-up information or mimic document samples that are publicly available. Another characteristic of fake documents is the use of fabricated names of the company or authority that issues the document.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Documents that do not match the owner<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This\u00a0type\u00a0of fraud is\u00a0usually\u00a0related to\u00a0forged documents, such as\u00a0electronic documents that are related to identity. The documents presented are original but\u00a0they were\u00a0brought or represented by people who are not legal holders of these documents.<\/p>\n<p>Understanding the methods used by fraudsters to cover up their crimes can help companies to design better prevention mechanisms and detect signs of fraud so that losses from fraud can be minimized.<\/p>\n<p>These methods also illustrate the importance of implementing internal controls such as segregation of duties, a strict inspection of documents through due diligence, as well as the implementation of internal and external audits.<\/p>\n<p>Integrity Indonesia as a company engaged in compliance for more than fifteen years has been trusted by clients in various fields to provide services that support clients in implementing internal control tools such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canary-whistleblowing.com\/\"><strong>Canary Whistleblowing System<\/strong><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/integrity-asia.com\/duediligence\/\"><strong>due diligence<\/strong><\/a>, and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/integrity-asia.com\/fraud\/\">fraud investigations<\/a><\/strong>.
