P&C Members must look out for fraud
Members of the Association must constantly be on the lookout for fraud
Indicators as set out in the manual include some of the following:
- Financial reports not being consistently presented for meetings
- Activities of the P&C making a loss or decreasing profits
- Late payments of expenses or late banking of funds
- Lack of segregation of duties
Should a member of the P&C suspect fraud is happening, they must not investigate it themselves, but must report it to the Principal.
