Are You Safe?
In times like these the most important question for your success is: How safe is your business?
Businesses in any field are always potential targets for criminal business activities. White-collar crime comprises all activities which damage your business either with intent or wantonly negligence, and which cause outsiders, members of the management or employees of your business to gain illegal advantages for themselves or for a third party. Damage caused by white-collar crime is further exacerbated by potential liability claims by third parties.
Now that the duties carried by the management, executive officers and associates are more comprehensive than ever, it is vital for you to have your business supervised by an independent, critical and trustworthy body.
Outside Perpetrators
Infidelity, theft and fraud are well-known crimes which are common occurrences in everyday business. Other offences include product falsification or blackmail which can lead to disastrous consequences for the standing, income and turnover of a business. Competitors and foreign intelligence might try to gain insight into your business by espionage and thus save on their own expenses for research and development. Companies which invest large amounts in creative production processes and innovative research are especially liable to be targeted by this kind of offenders. Sabotage is a common way of defeating superior competitors, and blackmail is widely used in order to find out how competitors go about their business.
Inside Perpetrators
Criminal activities regarding businesses often originate in their very core. Indeed, 40 % of all losses related to white-collar crime are caused by companies’ own employees. Infidelity costs businesses more than fire damage payments. Potential motives which might drive employees to work against their company are greed, envy or the subjective feeling of one’s work not being given enough credit by the employer and the co-workers. The collaboration between inside and outside perpetrators is the biggest risk to a business’s security.
