ABSTRACT

In order to achieve the intended benefits, awareness training must reflect the organization's specific processes, language and culture, and it must capture the attention of its employees. Organizations are constrained by laws and other government regulations, collective labour agreements, contractual agreements with business partners, financial covenants with lending institutions and so on. An awareness training programme helps employees to know, understand and accept the rules. In practice, Fraud and Corruption Awareness projects may start in very different ways, with different ambitions and budgets. The training should fit within the overall framework of training and policy with which employees are bombarded. The design is more likely to succeed if early input is provided by representatives of all the stakeholders; control, legal, finance, audit, security, human resources, communications and so on according to the structure of the organization. Evaluation is also a way to repeat to the organization the original message, a way to raise fraud awareness once again.
