Quick steps state governments can take to help stop internal fraud

As much as we trust employees, some abuse their positions. They conspire with others outside the agency to commit fraud like employees in 3 of the 15 most populated states.1,2,3 These employees were caught defrauding unemployment insurance, with one case involving $1.6 million in fraudulent payments. New, larger funding sources and easy access can tempt employees to create false identities or fake vendors to receive fraudulent payments.

Our article "Close the gaps to keep employees honest" can help you understand how extensive the fraud problem is in your organization. The article introduces quick, cost-effective controls to limit employees’ opportunities to commit fraud.
