// BKD ON YOUR ISSUES

ON SITE = INSIGHT

You need access to what’s really going on inside your organization. In other words, you need to hear from

the employees who are on site. BKD understands the value of candid information. Setting up a fraud

reporting hotline system allows employees to anonymously expose fraudulent behavior by their co-workers

or even their superiors. BKD’s IntegraReport system is designed so anyone with information on potential

fraud may anonymously submit information via phone or online. A confidential hotline should be a part of

any anti-fraud program, according to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners.

Research shows fraud is much more likely to be detected by tips than by any other method. The majority of tips reporting fraud come from employees of the victim organization.

Organizations with hotlines were much more likely to catch fraud by a tip, which our data shows is the most effective way to detect fraud.
