On the very first episode of Fraud Matters, we’re not easing ourselves in gently. We’re looking at one of the most varied and pervasive types of fraud: supply chain fraud. From invoice fraud to labour issues to bribery and corruption, supply chain fraud comes in many guises and can be incredibly complex. But it can also be deceptively simple, and all businesses need to be aware of it.

Through some real life examples, we explore how supply chain fraud might manifest, and how to mitigate the risks.
