Introduction
The importance of document verification and fraud elimination in the business world:
Since its inception, businesses have been targeting and analysing basic human needs to increase their market value, flourish and be ahead of the pack in the entrepreneur world.
Whereas some go back to square one because of internal failures, others become potential targets to payroll frauds, bank scams, stolen credit cards, identity scandals etc, leaving them bankrupt in no time. The sensitive aspects of organisations to be plagued by frauds are physical/digital documents, usernames, passwords etc. as some may lack the viable resources to perform regular checks and often lack the ways to secure their financial systems.
According to a report by IBM in 2020, data breach reported in India had the average cost added up to approx. 140 million.
Propitiously, for businesses to go against these technological parasites, we now have a wide range of solutions, tools and products to ensure safety, security, verification and make the process trustworthy.
Stating the risks of forgery across multiple industries
1. Identity thefts / Bank Frauds
In 2020, RBI announced a 159 % increase in bank frauds that amounted up to 25 U.S billion dollars stating the banking industry most victimised.
These thefts prey like a parasite on personal information that is considered to be the most vulnerable digitally. Fraudsters take pleasure in playing ‘catch me if you can’ by stealing passports/usernames/passwords/bank statements; discovering weaknesses in financial systems; identifying your billing patterns to use money/identity for a range of criminal offences including smuggling, trafficking, espionage, etc.
2. Food Industry Frauds
Did you imagine that one of the necessities of our lives can become a prospect of fraud? Then irregular and poor supply chains, mislabelling of items, abuse of ‘organic’ and ‘premium food’ labelling are some of the reasons that top the list. Food frauds and wastage has gained momentum in the past years and has affected about 10 % of supply chains.
3. Fraudulent activity in legal contracts / mortgage documents / insurance
Cases of counterfeit with changed policies by insurers and keeping their clients in dark never fail to make headlines. All this is a reaction to the document fraud that has given rise to fake employers, doctors, engineers, robbing people of their jobs as well as lives.
These thefts only require pseudo-documents to pilfer the real documents. Once fraudsters grab hold of these, it doesn’t take long for them to tamper with one’s mortgage payments, properties and life savings and use them to their own advantage.
4. Fraud in Pharmaceutical Industries
As the businesses expand, the infiltration of fraudulent schemes and their potentiality becomes hard to preclude. As recent pharmaceuticals export worth US$ 15.86 billion has been seen, these industries still haven’t managed to save themselves from illegal drug labelling frauds, unlawful kickbacks, clinical trial manipulations, drug switching, etc which leads to commodity losses, drop in sales and reputation of the brand and tampered checklists.
5. Illegal land deeds.
Since land deeds and registries are dealt with on paper which possesses a high risk of unreliability and theft. This results in land and property grab forcing innocent owners and robbing them off of their land ownership. Fencing the land and being indulged in physical combats may be of use in some cases but in the end tampering of land, documents would make it all go in vain.
