International Fraud Awareness Week 2025

Fraud is an ever-evolving threat that can impact organisations of all sizes and industries. International Fraud Awareness Week serves as a global reminder to stay vigilant, reinforce ethical practices and proactively strengthen controls against potential misconduct.

At Forvis Mazars in India, we are committed to helping organisations build resilience against fraud by combining practical experience, insights, and structured frameworks to protect what matters most — integrity, trust and sustainable growth.

Strengthening integrity through awareness

The landscape of fraud is increasingly complex, driven by digitalisation, sophisticated schemes and evolving regulations. Organisations that take proactive measures to understand, detect, and prevent fraud are better positioned to:

Safeguard financial and operational assets
Preserve stakeholder trust and corporate reputation
Ensure compliance with regulatory and ethical standards
Empower employees with awareness and accountability

Fraud Awareness Week 2025 champions a proactive approach—moving beyond readiness to real prevention. Together, we can build stronger systems, foster vigilance, and create a culture where fraud has no place to begin.

"True prevention starts when awareness turns into action—because stopping fraud before it starts is everyone’s responsibility."
Sunil Kalra Partner

Continuing the journey: From preparedness to prevention

Last year, through our campaign on Preparedness for Crisis, we highlighted the importance of anticipating and managing disruptions that challenge business resilience.

This year, we build on that foundation — moving from preparedness to prevention. Our focus expands from crisis response to proactive fraud management, equipping organisations to detect risks early and uphold integrity at every level.

Together, these initiatives represent our continued commitment to strengthening business resilience and promoting a culture of transparency and trust.

Insights that shaped our journey

Our focus on proactive fraud management builds on conversations that started last year during Fraud Awareness Week 2024. Our experts shared actionable insights on identifying and addressing some of the most common yet overlooked forms of corporate fraud.
