Honest  employees  who are  not  tempted  to  commit  fraud  will  also  be  aware  of  possible  signs  of  fraud  or  theft. These  employees  are  assets  in  the fight  againts  fraud.Since  many  employees  are  hestant  to  report  incidents  to  their  employers  consider  setting up  an  anonymous  reporting  system. Employees  can  report  fraudulent  activity  through a  website  keeping their  identity  safe  by  using  a  tip  online.

An expert  will  analize  the  company's  policies  and  procedurers,  recommand  appropriate  programs  and  assist  with  implementation.   

 

                                          4).MONITOR  ATTENDENCE  SHEET:- You  might  be  impressed  by  the  employees  who  haven't  missed  a  day  of  work  in  year  while  these  may  sound  like  loyal  employees, it  could  be  a  sign  that  these  employees  have  something  to  hide  and  are  worride  that  someone  will  detect  their  wrong  deeds  if  they  were  out  of  the  office  for  a  periods  of  time.It is  also  a  good  idea  to  rotate  employees  to  various  job  within  the  company.

There  should  be  a  clear  organizational  structurer  and  fair employement  practice. An  open  door  policy  can  also  provide  a  grate  fraud  prevention  system  as  it  gives  employees  open  line  of  communication  with  the  management. Buisness  owner  and  senior  management  should  lead  by  example  and  hold  every  employee  accountable  for  their  actions ,  regardless  of  position.

 

                                             CONCLUSION:-  Those  who  are  willing  to  commit  fraud  do  not  discriminate. It  can  happen  in  large  or  small  companies  across  various  industries  and  geographic  location. Occupational  fraud  can  result  in  huge  fraud  financial  loss, legal  costs  and  ruined  reputation  that  can  ultimate  lead  to  downfall  of  an  organization.  Having  the  proper      plans  in  place  can  significantly  reduce  fraudulent  activities  from  occuring  or  cut  losses  if  a  fraud  already  occured. Making  the  company  policy  known  to  employees  is  one  of  the  best  way  to  determin  fraudulent  behaviour.   

 

 

                                                       

PREVENTION OF MONEY LAUNDERING ACT 2002

                                                                 PREVENTION  OF  MONEY  LAUNDERING  ACT  2002

 

1).ABOUT:- Money   laundering  is  the  process  by  which  illegal  funds  and  assets  are  converted  into  legilimate  fund  and  asset. Money  from  illegal  activities  is  deposited  in  numerous  legimate  accounts  making  it  difficult  to  trace  so  the  money  can  be  used  freely.

 

2).MEANING:- Money laundering is the process of creating the appearance that large amounts of money obtained from criminal activity, such as drug trafficking or terrorist activity, originated from a legitimate source. The money from the illicit activity is considered dirty, and the process "launders" the money to make it look clean.

 

3).STAGES:- Money laundering is essential for criminal organizations who wish to use illegally earned money effectively. Dealing in large amounts of illegal cash is inefficient and dangerous. The criminals need a way to deposit the money in financial institutions, yet they can only do so if the money appears to come from legitimate sources.

                                                                         There  are  three  stages  or  phases  of  money  laundering  placement, layering  and  integration

           (1) PLACEMENT:-Its   refers  to  the  initial  point  of  entry  for  funds  deroived  from  criminal  activities  into  the  financial  system.

          (2)  LAYERING;-  Layering refers  to  the  certain  of  complex  network  of  transaction  that attempt  to  blur  the  link  between  the  initial  entery  point  and  the  end  of  the  laundering cycle. This  stage  can  consists  of  multiple  securites  trades,  cash  transfer , currency  exchange, the  purchases  of  financial  product  such  as  life  insurance etc.

           (3)INTEGRATION:-  INTEGRATION  REFERS  TO  THE  RETURNS  OF  FRAUD  TO  THE  LEGIMATE  ECONOMY.

 

4).MONEY  LAUNDERING  TATICS:- There are many ways to launder money, ranging from simple to complex. One of the most common ways to launder money is through a legitimate cash-based business owned by a criminal organization. For instance, if the organization owns a restaurant, it might inflate the daily cash receipts to funnel its illegal cash through the restaurant and into the bank. Then they can distribute the funds to the owners out of the restaurant's bank account. These types of businesses are often referred to as "fronts."

 

                          Another common form of money laundering is called smurfing, where a person breaks up large chunks of cash into multiple small deposits, often spread out over many different accounts, to avoid detection. Money laundering can also be done through the use of currency exchanges, wire transfers, and "mules" or cash smugglers, who smuggle large amounts of cash across borders to deposit them in offshore accounts where money-laundering enforcement is less strict. Other money-laundering methods involve investing in commodities such as gems and gold that can be easily moved to other jurisdictions, discretely investing in and selling valuable assets such as real estate, gambling, counterfeiting and creating shell companies.
