Fraud Risk Management (FRM)

Fraud Risk Isn’t a Possibility. It’s a Business Reality — Manage It Before It Manages You.

Proactive frameworks. Forensic insight. Governance-ready controls.

PACE helps leadership build fraud-resilient organisations where risks are anticipated, detected, and contained — before they become financial, operational, or reputational damage.

THE REALITY OF FRAUD TODAY

In today’s dynamic business environment, fraud is one of the most significant threats to organisational integrity, financial performance, and stakeholder trust.
For Boards, CFOs, CROs, Audit Committees and CEOs, the challenge is no longer whether fraud exists, it’s where it sits in the system and how long it goes unnoticed.

Fraud risks emerge from:

Vendor collusion & procurement irregularities

Revenue leakages & sales manipulation

Payroll abuse & employee-level misappropriation

Cyber fraud, data theft & digital breaches

Policy override, access misuse, and SoD violations

Weak monitoring and manual checks that fail silently

Leadership & Risk Management

Fraud thrives in the gaps between systems, processes, and human behaviour.

Our Views

Fraud Risk Management must become a continuous governance function not a post-incident reaction.

Leadership teamwork

PACE believes that an effective FRM framework must deliver three outcomes:

Preventive strength — strong controls, policies, governance & behavioural discipline

Detective intelligence — analytics, red-flag monitoring, and early-warning indicators

Response readiness — structured investigation, escalation, and corrective action

Aligned to:

COSO Fraud Risk Management Guide

ICAI Guidance Note on FRM

Companies Act, 2013

SEBI LODR governance requirements

PACE helps leaders like CRO’s, CFO’S of organisations to operationalise FRM — embedding controls, culture, and continuous monitoring.
