Combating Construction Fraud

No Events

According to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) 3.4% of all reported fraud cases, over a two-years period, up to December 2011, were attributable to the Construction industry. The presence of fraud and corruption in Construction can take many forms; from falsely representing the numbers of hours a contractor works, through to collusion when bidding for contracts or paying bribes to secure a contract. These inevitably increase costs and, in the case of bribes, inflate the contract price.
