Overview of Fraud Risk Management
In today’s interconnected business environment, organizations face increasing exposure
to fraud risks. Fraud Risk Management (FRM) refers to proactive strategies that help
organizations identify, assess, prevent, detect, and respond to fraudulent activities.
It integrates governance frameworks, internal controls, advanced technologies, and
