ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the two broad areas that work together to achieve the control framework and effective risk management. It also explores that there is often a fundamental error at heart of this narrative it is not that the International non-governmental organisations (INGOs) insufficient resources; it is that operational ambition is outstripping resources. It is possible, in some INGOs, to observe several trends that can impact upon prevention. The components of prevention are a non-negotiable necessity; when operational expectations are not aligned with what can be achieved with available resources, this damages compliance, and elevates fraud and corruption risk. The business planning so important to effective prevention becomes harder. The prevention of fraud and corruption require good-quality financial and logistics personnel, the right skills, investment in training and development, and effective performance management. The role played by these rules is broader than fraud and corruption prevention, being vital tools for effective and efficient business, but they are powerful according to Cendrowski.
