Select an organisation with which you are familiar. Identify three issues that you think are most likely to impact upon fraud and corruption in that organisation.

For each of the issues chosen, by reference to the relevant literature:

write a description as to why you think it is important;

indicate how it impacts upon fraud or corruption;

and describe what you think would be the consequences if this issue was left unresolved.

You should note that in the assessment criteria for this assessment item, there is a significant weighting for research and analysis.

Although there are generic risks which face most organisations, some financial crime control risks which manifest within a particular organisation will be unique. Thus, although the readings prescribed for this subject may provide a good starting point, students are encouraged to read widely to ensure that they tailor their work by reference to both the particular risks facing the organisation selected and the associated literature.
