3 Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, Inc Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, Inc. 3
4 1. Know Relationships Between Insiders & Loan Customers Strict policy regarding conflicts of interest o Disclosure o Non-involvement o Annual written certification Keen awareness & monitoring where conflicts are known to exist Be aware of relationships & ask questions where you are unsure Push back on things that seem unusual 7 2. Make 2 nd Sign-Off a REAL Control Issue is unique to the banking industry Second person often signs off based on trust & doesn t actually review the transaction Train employees to understand before they sign off & make this control more effective 8 4
5 3. No Cash Transactions Outside Presence of Customer Balance between security & customer service Processing of transactions as a favor to customer Backbone of many fraud schemes Stopping this practice can prevent many schemes we have seen over the past five years o Lapping in customer accounts o Fictitious loans o Theft from customer accounts o Unauthorized draws on lines of credit 9 Fictitious Loans Bond Claim Tracking spreadsheet Affidavit 10 5
6 CD Lapping Schemes Steal customer money at CD opening or after opening When money is needed, replace from another CD Requires aid of tellers Can be focused on most unwary, but not always Good Controls Around ACH & Wires Follow the controls religiously Don t make exceptions Train employees to protect bank credentials If you aren t sure your controls are good enough in this area, have an assessment done Corporate account takeover has become a big problem Many mistakes being made in this area 12 6
7 13 See the full alert at 5. Make Sure Your Correspondent Account Really Balances Several internal embezzlements present themselves as reconciling items on the correspondent account Theft directly from the correspondent account has become more common 14 7
8 Theft from Correspondent Account Bank exam getting ready to wrap up Examiners discover missing data Discrepancies seemed innocent at first A little digging reveals big problems Over $5.0 million difference b/t deposit subsidiary records & general ledger control accounts 15 What Was Going On? Wires Transfers to personal accounts at other banks Transfers not shown on wire log Phony backup to make wires look like routine investment transactions Checking Account Nominee checking account used to withdraw $$ 16 8
9 The Damage Scheme Amount Wire transfers to personal accounts $2,549,000 Wires to phony company 1,520,000 Withdrawals through nominee account 891,000 Documented loss $4,960,000* *Losses believed to exceed this amount. This is what could be documented. 17 How Did it Happen? Lack of controls over wires early on e.g. complete control over FedLine system Controls got better but so did the scheme Fraud the old fashioned way: Began using scissors, tape & copy machine to create phony s, confirmations & other records Provided phony docs to employees & auditors Scheme lasted for over 15 years 18 9
10 6. Surprise Cash Counts Do them regularly Two tricks o o Must be a surprise Must count everything Officer, Director & Employee Account Review Don t let this fall to the back burner Doesn t have to be 100% coverage Must include officers & directors Make sure someone qualified is performing the review What to look for o Unusual levels of cash transactions o Non-payroll deposits o Bank journal entry credits o Deposit of loan proceeds or cashiers checks 20 10
11 8. Fraud Awareness Training Targeted training for employees & managers Can t solve fraud from the accounting or internal audit department Organization-wide awareness is critical Lower losses & shorter duration can be correlated to awareness training for employees 21 At a minimum, staff members should be educated regarding what actions constitute fraud, how fraud harms everyone in the organization & how to report questionable activity. --Association of Certified Fraud Examiners 9. Confidential Hotline Single most cost effective anti-fraud action Tips are number one way that frauds are detected Most tips come from employees Both a deterrent & a detection method Lower losses are observed where a hotline is present Puts employees on notice that you want to know Must train bank employees not to process unusual transactions & what to do when it happens 22 Providing individuals a means to report suspicious activity is a critical part of an anti-fraud program. --Association of Certified Fraud Examiners 11
12 Detection of Fraud Schemes Initial Detection of Occupational Frauds Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, Inc. Detection of Fraud Schemes Source of Tips Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, Inc. 12
13 10. Solid Budget-to-Actual Process Reliable budget Examine variances monthly Understand what is REALLY causing variances Identify & follow up on any unusual trends Log Customer Complaints Complaints about payments, timeliness of posting, statements, etc. Often complaints are directed to perpetrator o Allows scheme to continue Patterns in complaints are seldom recognized until it s too late A lot can be learned by knowing about complaints 26 13
14 12. Good HR Practices Background checks Credit checks Performance evaluation processes Exit interviews Mandatory Vacations Someone must fill in for employee on vacation & perform their duties Job rotation can also be used Many problems are identified during perpetrator vacations 28 14
15 14. Data Mining & Continuous Auditing Especially related to loan master & maintenance files Pattern recognition Identify patterns indicative of fraud schemes Find things you ll never find by looking at documents o o o o Fictitious loans Rolling loans Undisclosed conflicts of interest Manipulation of loan maintenance files Segregation of Duties Custody vs. Authorization vs. Recordkeeping Objective is more than one pair of eyes Oversight & monitoring A few to focus on (there are many more) o EFT origination, processing, confirmation & recordkeeping o Lending relationship management, underwriting, processing, disbursement & recordkeeping o Independent reconciliations o Dual control over cash & collateral 30 15
16 16. Know When to Ask for an Audit Internal financial statements carry higher risk of manipulation Working capital lending When do you require an audited financial statement? Hard assets as collateral is different Compilation vs. Review vs. Audit Go Get Your Collateral Large losses where customer absconds with collateral Sometimes shouldn t just take the hit Understand where your collateral went & go looking for it if you don t 32 16
