A single case of occupational fraud costs government organizations a median $138,000, according to the ACFE’s Occupational Fraud 2022: A Report to the Nations. The fraud risks they face can vary greatly from those in the private sector. Fraud examiners must understand the many types of fraud that affect government organizations including public corruption, contract fraud, performance schemes, beneficiary frauds and false claims.
