ArcelorMittal employees trained in identifying fraudsters in the workplace

ArcelorMittal Dubai (CIS), in cooperation with Deloitte Forensic India, provided training on fraud awareness, the press service of the Ukrainian division of the world's largest steel company said.

As part of the Fraud Awareness Week, all ArcelorMittal businesses are hosting various activities to raise awareness among ArcelorMittal employees about this issue and how to combat it. These include hands-on trainings on communication and awareness issues.

ArcelorMittal Dubai (CIS) hosted a fraud awareness training in partnership with Deloitte Forensic India. The training was conducted by Rajat Vig and his team from Deloitte Forensic India.

The aim of the training was to raise awareness of fraud and an understanding of the role each employee plays in preventing, detecting and combating fraud.

48 employees of all levels and functions took part in the training, where they were explained what is expected of them, what risks exist and how to identify them, and, most importantly, where to go for help and advice when faced with fraud. The main focus was on clarifying the role of each employee in preventing, detecting and combating fraud.

The interactive training was held in the form of considering a number of questions that touch on key aspects: what is fraudulent, who can commit it, for what reasons, the possible impact that fraud can have on the organization, and how it can be detected. Various types of fraud (bribery, corruption, cybercrime, fraud with financial reporting, etc.) were examined in detail using real life examples. An important objective of the training was to show how to prevent fraud and how to deal with it in the workplace, the role and responsibility of employees to report detected cases of fraud /misconduct and to minimize them.

The interactive form enabled employees to take an active part in training, interact with colleagues and the trainer, discuss the real risks to the enterprise that fraud entails, and receive feedback on the anti-fraud program in general.
