Skimming Scheme Detection and Prevention
| Skimming schemes are one of the most common forms of loss within an organization and tend to be difficult to detect since controls can be over-ridden and prevent a clear audit trail.
Mystery Shopping is an effective means to detect and minimize loss through skimming schemes. Trained covert field evaluators will anonymously check for key indicators of point-of-sale losses including verification of provided receipts for all purchases to ensure the transaction was recorded on the register and accuracy of receipt to purchase.
