The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) has recently published Occupational Fraud 2026: A Report to the Nations, the 14th edition of the largest and most comprehensive study on the costs and effects of occupational fraud.

Analysing data from 2,402 real fraud cases across 143 countries and territories, the report provides a global view of how fraud is committed, detected and prevented within organisations in both the public and private sectors.
