The policy is fr amed in such a manner that it encourages employees to report fraud and emp owers them to play an important role in managing and curbing corruption an d fraud in the organization.\n\nAn anti-fraud policy is a critical tool fo r communicating an organization’s stance and processes concerning fraud. The tone of communication should be such that it is taken seriously and h as an impact in preventing unethical practices and encouraging others to b e intolerant to unethical practices that come to their notice.
