In many businesses, fraudulent activities quietly persist for extended periods without being detected or addressed.
This can stem from various reasons, including collusion among managers, employees' fear of speaking up, and the concealment of information to protect the personal interests of involved parties.

Below are some key reasons contributing to this issue:
Hired Directors' Concerns:
Directors who are employed by the company may fear that if headquarters discovers the fraud, their managerial competence could be questioned, potentially leading to contract termination.
Involvement of Directors and Key Individuals in Fraud:
When leadership and employees are complicit in fraudulent activities, covering up and avoiding reporting becomes an inevitable choice to protect their personal interests.
Employees Exploiting Business Vulnerabilities:
Some employees may leverage knowledge of fraudulent practices within the company to threaten public exposure, targeting partners or clients.
Fear and Pressure from the Work Environment:
Most employees may be aware of fraudulent activities but refrain from reporting due to fears of isolation, retaliation, or even surveillance and intimidation. In severe cases, employees might face direct pressure or threats orchestrated by others.
Fraud within a company not only results in financial losses but also erodes trust and creates injustice due to the abuse of power by certain individuals.
