Corporate Fraud:
Recent surveys have shown that the majority of fraudsters are corporate employees with management responsibilities.

This does not have to happen as fraud can be identified, managed and minimized. To prevent or at least minimize fraud, we assist our clients in defining a Corporate Fraud Policy and building an ethical framework:

CORPORATE FRAUD POLICY
Most corporations and organizations have codified guidelines on ethical and fraud-related behaviors (codes of conduct, governance codes, anti-fraud policies, etc.) However, issuing a policy by itself has shown many insufficiencies. More often than not, internal controls are insufficient or not properly understood. However, it is leadership and example - rather than rules and regulations - that determine proper ethical behavior in a corporation. A fraud policy can therefore be useful in determining a company’s attitude to fraud. The directors must comply with its provisions and staff should be required to indicate their awareness of how it is applied.

BUILDING AN ETHICAL FRAMEWORK (BEF)
For those in any doubt about what constitutes appropriate behavior, an anti-fraud policy serves as a useful deterrent. Clear communication will help ensure that employees understand what is and what is not acceptable. Where an organization’s performance is heavily dependent upon third parties, it may be appropriate to share the content of ethics policies with key contractors and suppliers, and seek assurances that they will adopt similar standards. Key aspects to be considered in building an ethical framework are:

» Understanding the regulatory environment and legal issues;
» Understanding how ethics and compliance programs can save you money;
» Implementing a code of conduct;
» Including a code of conduct in contracts;
» Organizing ethical training and communications.

Corporate Fraud Alert (CFA)
A specially trained team may investigate to check suspect situations and highlight corporate misconduct.

In addition to significant financial losses to investors, corporate fraud has the potential to cause immeasurable damage to investors’ confidence. For these reasons, we help decision makers enhance ethics and compliance programs, develop anti-fraud measures and thereby avoid risks and boost competitive advantage. The key topics to be addressed are:

» Thoroughly understand all business processes;
» Identify the most critical risks according to severity and frequency;
» Implement appropriate controls to fight fraud;
» Implement change in the corporate culture and encourage openness and reporting;
» Build and execute a strong compliance program;
» Identify and deal with risks posed by the IT environment;
» Review and update procedures based on findings.

Staff & Suppliers Integrity investigation (SSII)
A specially trained team may investigate to check suspect situations. These services are extremely time consuming and may apply when high amounts of money or company responsibility are involved.

In addition to significant financial losses to investors, Corporate Fraud has the potential to cause immeasurable damage to investor confidence. Corporate Fraud investigations involve the following activities in most cases: falsification of financial information, self-dealing by corporate insiders or fraudulent billing from suppliers.

In addition to our Recruitment & Executive Search activities, we are the official representatives of international schools and universities in China.

Ms. Suzy MA, VP Education China, is in charge of local marketing, information exchanges and building partnerships with Chinese educational institutions.

Suzy has an extensive experience in HR and Education. She was actively involved in the establishment of the French Management School of Lyon (EM Lyon) in China and was active in the promotion, recruitment and representation of the Alumni Club in China (EM Lyon China Club). She is now the official representative of the Grenoble University Business Institute (IAE Grenoble) in China.

The Grenoble University Graduate Business Institute maintains close and constant contacts with the Chinese business community, thus guaranteeing a highly relevant educational program. Moreover, it remains part of the French national educational system, ensuring high academic standards in so far as faculty members all possess doctorates in their respective fields. Finally, the Institute calls upon outside experts and specialists to provide recent business cases for workshops.

The Grenoble IAE is a member of the French network of Graduate Business Schools (30 institutes offering 400 management degrees enrolling circa 30,000 students). This network also fosters the exchange of ideas and provides a strong incentive to enhance each Institute’s curriculum through constant benchmarking.

The Grenoble IAE has developed a privileged partnership with the SISU (Shanghai International Studies University). A group of 10 to 15 post graduate students participate in a yearly exchange program with the school in France, receiving in return students in China. The exchange program has now been extended to include Shanghai University which, since 1998, offers a Franco-Chinese Executive MBA program (MBA France-Chine) delivered in conjunction with three French business schools: Ecole de Management de Lyon (EM Lyon), Grenoble Ecole de Management (GEM) and IAE de Lyon.
