A human-centred approach
At their core, fraud and corruption still carry a significant
human element – both in cause and solution.
The Australian Standard 8001 - Fraud and Corruption Control
('AS 8001' or 'the Standard') provides guidance on
the development, implementation and maintenance of a 'Fraud and
Corruption Control System' ('FCCS'). However, leaders
and organisations should not reduce the meaning of the word
'system' to computerised information systems. Integrity
management cannot be addressed purely via an off the shelf,
'set and forget' piece of software, a tick-the-box
checklist or a static documented framework which collects dust on
the shelf. Instead, the FCCS should comprise a cross-collaborative
system of risk-aware teams which work together within the internal
and external environment of the organisation to devise
multi-factorial strategies to combat integrity breaches.
