Not-for-Profits operate on a foundation of public trust. Donors contribute, volunteers dedicate their time, and the community relies on your integrity. However, even the most well-intentioned organisations can be vulnerable.
Consider these sobering statistics:
- 43% of occupational frauds are detected by tip-offs. This highlights the power of internal reporting in uncovering wrongdoing.
- Organisations typically lose 5% of their revenue to fraud annually. For NFPs, this isn’t just a financial loss; it’s a direct diversion of funds from your core mission.
- Companies with fraud awareness training are 56% more likely to receive tips from employees. This underscores the importance of a proactive, educated approach to ethics.
These figures underscore a vital truth: robust ethics and reporting systems aren’t a luxury, they’re a necessity. They safeguard your financial resources, protect your reputation, and ensure every dollar goes where it’s truly needed.
