It was a misrepresentation of contracts in one of the largest fraud cases, resulting in approximately <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsaig.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/semiannual-reports\/GSA%20OIG%20SAR%20Fall%202022.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$90 million<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in losses.\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It happened because the <\/span><b>fraud due diligence<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> either wasn\u2019t performed at all or wasn\u2019t done correctly. This meant that the company could pass off falsified documents as genuine, meet the requirements of a contract that it wasn\u2019t qualified for, and commit a financial crime.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If fraud can happen to the US government at the highest level, it can (unfortunately) happen to your business too. However, customer due diligence can help in fraud prevention. Learn how in this article!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being vigilant in your fraud due diligence for international contracts<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Performing <\/span><b>fraud due diligence<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in your international contracts can be some of the trickiest work. Especially because every jurisdiction operates differently and there are many different types of fraud.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">risks associated with carelessness<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are too great to bear, leaving your company exposed to reputation damage, loss of revenue, and vulnerabilities to regulatory compliance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fraud due diligence refers to the background work: checking and verifying company information and customer identity before entering a contract. For example, fraud prevention checks can reveal:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Credit check failures<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Senior management investigations and backgrounds<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Relationships with political figures or terrorist groups<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Previous criminal cases<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, by performing <\/span><b>fraud due diligence<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you can help prevent the likes of online fraud crimes, IP infringements, and operational issues like delayed product shipping. Alongside the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/criminal-fraud\/foreign-corrupt-practices-act\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Foreign Corrupt Practices Act<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (1977), you can also prevent bribery when awarding international contracts to a fraudster.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to prevent fraud from international contracts<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preventing fraud with any supplier is never easy, but it becomes significantly harder when you operate in a different country from your counterparts. In many countries, certain records are not made publicly available, which can hide key information.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, there are certain best practices within the due diligence process that your organization can follow in order to protect itself from suspicious business fraud schemes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Get help from the experts<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Here at Trustpair, fraud due diligence is our bread and butter.

Use letters of credit and secure payment methods\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Letters of credit are secondary contracts involving banks that work alongside your agreement with a vendor. Previously, sellers would be reluctant to send their products abroad without payment, and buyers would be reluctant to pay before inspecting their goods.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So a letter of credit is a bank guarantee that the seller will be paid within an agreed time frame and in full. Even if the buyer doesn\u2019t pay on time, the bank would cover the amount.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Letters of credit are helpful in <\/span><b>fraud due diligence<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> because they provide extra security for both parties. Sellers entering into new trading partnerships can be sure that they\u2019ll receive the money for their goods. Likewise, buyers know that they\u2019ll receive the goods before they need to pay.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most secure e-commerce payment methods is direct debit via ACH. This is far superior (in terms of security) to alternatives like checks or even bank transfers. In fact, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.federalreserve.gov\/publications\/files\/changes-in-us-payments-fraud-from-2012-to-2016-20181016.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">less than 1%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of ACH payments were found to be fraudulent between 2013 and 2015.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In contrast, there were many more cases of credit card fraud and check fraud, highlighting the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/trustpair.com\/gb\/blog\/what-are-the-benefits-of-digital-transformation\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">benefits of a digital system<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once sent, the payment is unable to be intercepted before it reaches the recipient&#8217;s bank account securely.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Place requirement clauses in your international contracts\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Requirement clauses mean that you can guarantee certain conditions or events when working with an international partner. Requirement clauses can include the likes of product samples, or <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">compliance<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with certain UK regulations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This helps with fraud due diligence as it legally protects your business when a fraud perpetrator doesn\u2019t fulfill its obligations. Leaving the other party liable to cover your damages or any other consequences listed in the contract.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can even negotiate guaranteed shipping times after your purchase order is submitted, in order to better manage your inventory and fulfill customer orders without an issue.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Stay up to date with current fraud trends\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/trustpair.com\/gb\/blog\/ceo-fraud-how-to-protect-your-organization-from-fraudsters\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CEO fraud<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">gift card fraud<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are two of the most common types of scams currently. Most companies are good at creating resources and training new staff against the most common types of fraud.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But here at Trustpair, a leading B2B payment fraud prevention platform, we don\u2019t think this is enough.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Educating your staff on at least an annual basis should help keep them up-to-date with emerging techniques. While the right technology systems will never fail, you\u2019re also empowering staff in enhanced due diligence to fight against fraud at every level.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Limit technical and physical security access<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Due diligence on your own systems is also required to keep your business secure against fraud risk. This means limiting access for your international partners and providing them with front-end contact only.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Protecting your business in this way should help prevent vulnerability to cybercrimes, employee fraud, and money laundering.
