In Fiscal Year 2011, the SEC announced 735 enforcement cases involving financial wrongdoing resulting in $2.8 billion in penalties and disgorgement.

Take action now before your organization finds itself in this situation. Joining the ACFE Corporate Alliance is a significant anti-fraud measure that organizations can take as part of their overall compliance program or when facing potential penalties.

The ACFE’s 2012 Report to the Nation on Occupational Fraud and Abuse estimates that organizations lose an average of 5% of their revenue to fraud. But that’s just an average. Olympus lost $3 billion in market capitalization in just two days when news of a potential scandal there broke in late 2011. And that’s not even a worst-case scenario — companies like Enron, WorldCom and Adelphia Communications were destroyed by fraud.

According to a 2010 study,* fraudulent activities within U.S. public companies have significant negative consequences for investors and executives. The study found that news of an alleged fraud resulted in a 17% stock price decline in the two days surrounding the announcement. These companies often experienced bankruptcy, delisting from a stock exchange, or asset sale, and in many cases the CEO and/or CFO were named for alleged involvement.

Now more than ever it is vital for companies to take significant steps to combat fraud. Large organizations already know where to turn for anti-fraud best practices. More than 75% of Fortune 500 companies employ Certified Fraud Examiners (CFEs). Companies now have a new option to help strengthen their anti-fraud efforts and provide their teams with the resources required to prevent, detect and deter occupational fraud.

The ACFE Corporate Alliance supports the implementation of anti-fraud best practices in large organizations by giving your team access to tools, training and resources from the ACFE, the world’s largest anti-fraud organization and premier provider of anti-fraud training.

Participation in the Corporate Alliance denotes a commitment to the fight against fraud and is designed to en-sure that your organization is up to speed on solid fundamentals, best practices and the latest trends. Partner-ing with the ACFE through the Corporate Alliance enhances your company’s image within the anti-fraud com-munity and is a vital tool for instilling confidence in your employees, stakeholders and business prospects.

Enrollment in the ACFE Corporate Alliance can help your organization:

• Protect itself from fraud. Participation in the ACFE Corporate Alliance can help protect your organization both from direct losses, and from fines and other legal sanctions. An organization’s commitment to fight fraud is the founda-tion of an effective anti-fraud program that can serve to mitigate or avoid penalties if a rogue employee engages in fraud or corruption. Joining the Corporate Alliance and taking advantage of the employee training and educational opportunities entailed helps to demonstrate such a commitment.

• Improve the bottom line. Research conducted by the ACFE as part of preparing the 2012 Report to the Nations on Occupational Fraud and Abuse determined that in organizations with CFEs on staff, frauds were uncovered 50 percent sooner, and the median fraud loss was 44 percent lower. The unique expertise CFEs posess in preventing, detecting and deterring fraud has a demonstrable impact on the bottom line. Their effectiveness, and thus their contribution to the organization, increases when whole teams share common terminology, methodologies and a common body of knowledge. The Corporate Alliance is designed to help ensure that everyone involved in the fight against fraud at your organization is up to speed on solid fundamentals, best practices and the latest trends.
