Therefore, it is substantial to upgrade the Risk Management System. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A potent <strong>fraud risk assessment<\/strong> tool can instantly identify and understand the nature of the risk to a business and highlight the lapses in controlling the fraud for the organization. Once the <strong>Company indentifies<\/strong> the risk, a plan can be formed to mitigate those risks by installing control procedures. Therefore assign members to monitor the <strong>successful implementation<\/strong> of the plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The fraud risk assessment tool must address to the issues mentioned below:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Misappropriation of assets<\/li><li>Financial and non-financial reporting<\/li><li>Regulatory compliance <\/li><li>Illegal acts<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Components_of_a_Fraud_Risk_Management_System\"><\/span><strong>Components of a Fraud Risk Management System <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are primary functions of a fraud risk management framework which are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Informs about the fraud risk: <\/strong>A fraud risk management tool provides complete information of various frauds like undisclosed relationships, <strong>fraudulent disbursements<\/strong>, theft by <strong>cyber fraud<\/strong>, bribery, revenue recognition, manipulation of expenses and liabilities, false employee qualification Certificate, <strong>inappropriate journal<\/strong> entries, improper reporting and disclosures, compliance with government regulations etc.<\/li><li><strong>Identifies existing anti-fraud controls:<\/strong>\u00a0it points out the hitches in the internal controls in effect and curbs the impact of detective controls.<\/li><li><strong>Estimate the occurrence of a fraud<\/strong>: A <strong>fraud risk management<\/strong> tool anticipates and delivers an insight into potential fraudulent actions based on the <strong>frequency of fraud occurrence<\/strong>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><div class=\"shadow6\">One can perceive that Fraud Risk Management holds a vital significance for the protection of an organization.
