Infosurv partnered with Actimize, a NICE Systems company and the largest and broadest financial crime, to administer their biennial study measuring employee fraud within financial institutions. Here’s what we found:
- Eighty-two percent of those surveyed, approximately a quarter more than in 2007, see the threat of employee fraud growing and 78 percent see the employee fraud problem increasing due to the slower economy.
- More than 69 percent of respondents view full-time employees as the highest risk segment, seven to 14 times more risky than part-time, offshore, outsource or temporary employees
- Sixty-seven percent of those surveyed think that a half or less of employee fraud cases are actually caught
- When ranking top ways firms uncover employee fraud, 34 percent admitted “accidentally”
- Well over half of the respondents listed budget as their company’s biggest internal challenge as it relates to managing the employee fraud threat
