Global Fraud Expert Dan Draz Authors New Column for American City Business Journals


NAPERVILLE, Ill., Jan. 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Acclaimed fraud management expert, Dan Draz, creator of the innovative Detective Dan® Project for syndicated media outlets and Principal at Fraud Solutions, has agreed to author a new business column for American City Business Journals.

Draz's syndicated column has appeared in the digital editions of the 43 markets served by The Business Journals. His focus is on increasing executive awareness and creating a more robust fraud prevention atmosphere in American businesses. Columns will feature opinion, cutting edge analysis and insights on current business trends, fraud and information threats, tips for combatting major fraud events, management approaches to effective governance, risk, ethics & compliance, increasing ROI and protecting the bottom line.

With an estimated $4 trillion in annual losses, fraud has become a global epidemic. Two of the more common management misperceptions many senior executives have are "it won't happen here" and "we have nothing that anyone wants," both of which couldn't be farther from the truth. These errant management philosophies, combined with irregular anti-fraud risk assessment activity, poor training, unawareness and lackluster defenses, leaves businesses extremely vulnerable.

"The reality is that fraud doesn't discriminate between its victims, targeting businesses of all sizes, types and geographies," explains Draz. "In fact, the average business loses somewhere between 6-8% of their annual revenues from fraud and theft. In an uncontrolledenvironment lacking robust awareness, controls and prevention programs, losses easily skyrocket into double digits, which are often fatal to businesses."



Through Draz's Business Journal column readers around the country will now have access to unique insights, reputable information and recommended resources for the sophisticated fraud challenges facing their businesses from one of the most trusted fraud experts in the country.
