Not-for-profit fraud survey 2006

The BDO not-for-profit fraud survey 2006, provides a benchmark for not-for-profit organisations revealing the perception and level of fraud in the sector, examining specific incidences of fraud and what the sector is doing to prevent fraud occurring.

Fraud is not only an issue for the not-for-profit sector. It is an issue for every organisation, whether they are in the corporate, government or not-for-profit sector.

The not-for-profit sector as a whole performed extremely well both in the level of fraud currently occurring and the steps being taken to reduce the likelihood of fraud occurring in their organisation. As the first dedicated survey of its kind for the not-for-profit sector, a number of comparisons have been drawn with large organisations in the public and private sector.

While this comparison has been necessary to provide the sector with a marker for their performance, it is also important to recognise the inherent differences which exist between organisations in the not-for-profit sector and other sectors.

The survey results should provide a guide as to how fraud is occurring and the key methods that have worked in discovering fraud. While the results have been positive overall for the not-for-profit sector, organisations must not let their guard down in their fight against fraud - vigilance is imperative.
