About the Risk Assessment
The first step in FRAUD PREVENTION is effective risk assessment.
Our all-new Anti-Fraud Assessment, AFA, is a structured fraud risk assessment developed by Certified Fraud Examiners (CFEs) with nearly three decades of experience and expertise.
The Objective:
It is aimed at helping organisations accurately map their fraud risk profile against real-world scenarios, industry vulnerabilities, and evolving compliance obligations, including the UK’s "Failure to Prevent Fraud" offence, Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act (ECCTA). AFA evaluates your Organisation’s exposure to fraud, identifies gaps in controls, and strengthens your anti-fraud framework, whether you operate in the UK or globally.
It’s practical. It's benchmarked. And it’s tailored for your Organisation to profit from prevention!
What does it cover?

Each module in the assessment reflects the six principles outlined in UK government guidance and aligns with global fraud prevention standards.

Frequently asked questions
Is AFA a fraud risk assessment?
Why is this assessment important for your Organisation?
The true cost of fraud goes far beyond the amount stolen; it is not just financial. In terms of revenue: On average, organisations lose 5% of annual revenue to fraud. So you need the Anti-Fraud Assessment as it:
- helps avoid legal penalties and provides your Organisation with a return of investment. Preventing even one significant fraud incident often recovers far more than the cost of the assessment.
- is essential for uncovering weaknesses, meeting regulatory requirements such as the UK's ECCTA's "reasonable procedures" defence or global compliance requirements, and building a strong, proactive fraud prevention framework.
- best practice, compliant and protects your reputation, both as an individual and a company.
- improves Organisation's overall operational efficiency, even if no fraud is suspected.
Who needs this assessment?
AFA is for organisations of all sizes, in the UK and internationally, that want to identify, measure, and reduce their exposure to fraud risks. It is both sector-agnostic and jurisdiction-friendly, making it relevant for UK-focused compliance as well as global anti-fraud best practices.
It’s especially valuable for:
1. Types of Businesses / Industry:
a) From SMEs to large corporates, the assessment is beneficial across finance, legal, professional services, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, energy, public sector, and more.
b) UK organisations or multinational companies operating in the UK, preparing for the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act (ECCTA) “Failure to Prevent Fraud” offence coming into force on 1 September 2025.
c) Global companies seeking to align with anti-fraud best practices.
2. Professionals: Ideal for directors, C-suite, general counsel, compliance officers, risk managers, auditors, finance teams, and HR leaders who aim to build fraud resilience and strengthen fraud prevention frameworks.
Can we use the results as evidence gathering, if something goes wrong?
Yes. One of the tool’s core benefits is that it generates clear, timestamped documentation showing your efforts to prevent fraud, which is vital if you need to demonstrate compliance in regulatory or legal settings. That’s why it is important that everything is answered honestly and a mixture of up to 3 people take the assessments for accuracy.
