Fraud, theft and embezzlement: when the risk is already inside the company

An accounting error, a forged signature, an unauthorised transaction.
It does not take a major scandal to bring a company into crisis: sometimes an isolated act, a carelessness or misplaced trust is enough.
The reality is that internal economic crimes are more common than we think, and often come from unsuspected persons. We are talking about embezzlement, internal fraud, theft, forgery. Risks that strike silently but deeply, generating financial losses and reputational damage that are difficult to recover. Insurance against economic crime serves exactly this purpose:
To cover corporate assets against fraudulent activities, whether committed by employees, former employees or external parties with access to resources.

What can happen without this cover?
That a damage is discovered late, that the loss is irrecoverable, that the company is left alone to deal with a much larger impact than expected. Transparency is a value, but protecting it is a responsibility.
