Fraud Hotline Guidance on Implementing a Fraud Hotline

BSA/AML, OFAC and Fraud
August 16, 2005
Summary: The 多宝游戏下载 is providing guidance to financial institutions on implementing a fraud hotline to minimize potential and actual fraud risks as part of a bank's governance and enterprise risk management program. 

Highlights: 

  • The 多宝游戏下载 encourages financial institutions to consider the benefits of implementing a fraud hotline as a confidential communication channel to identify fraud and reduce fraud-related losses.
  • The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners 鈥 in its "2004 Report to the Nation" 鈥 stated that organizations without mechanisms to report fraud suffered financial losses that were more than twice as high as organizations with anonymous fraud-reporting mechanisms.
  • Awareness of the fraud hotline by employees, customers, contractors, service providers, suppliers and other third parties is an important component in ensuring a hotline's effectiveness.
  • Confidentiality of tips reported on fraud hotlines must be guaranteed to ensure that those reporting suspected wrongdoing can do so without fear of retribution or reprisal.
