The Warmer
Weather has finally arrived; soon it will be summer. Most Business Owners let
down their guard, let go on Vacations and have Fun. Coincidentally, it's
also a time that Online Scammers and Hackers get active and keep their
eyes looking for Accounts to hack and tamper the unfortunate company Account
Holders. Our Discussion today focuses on an area that is passionate to my heart. As a matter of fact, I look forward to a day, that every company will be devoid of fraud. Technology has given fraudsters an edge in recent years, and we see a lot of fraudulent activities and online attacks on most Business Account. There are majority of fraudsters out there that are using the basic scams to de-fraud merchants, because there are too many Businesses that are not doing anything to stop them. The Purpose of this Write-up is to provide information on the various types of Account Frauds that exist and how to prevent these online fraudulent attacks on your Business. The Online Frauds are as follows: 1) Morphing Fraud (Repeat Offenders): This is common in online customer sales businesses. The Fraudster hits a Single Merchant, multiple times using slightly different data points each time; A Multiple Purchase is made from your Business site within a short time frame with a number of different credit cards. In this Case, All of the Goods will be going to the same location, but all of the other data may change between purchases. 2) Skimming:This is where the Debit/Credit Card Numbers are being accessed in common places like Restaurants, Bars, Hotels, ATMs and Airports. The Fraudsters place fake devices in these locations or sites, where an accomplice or entire staff unknowingly swipes each credit card that is entered. Afterwards, these Numbers are collected and sold. 3) Debit Card Fraud: This occurs when a criminal gains access to your debit card number, to make unauthorized purchases and/or withdraws from your Account. When your Debit Card is used fraudulently, the money is missing from your account instantly. Recently, We had a case of client, whose Company Account was continuously charged an unauthorized amount for 6 months, and the Client innocently thought the charges were for services, he had signed up for, until his account was reviewed and he found out that they were fraudulent online transactions. 4) Identity Fraud: A Case of Identity Theft is being reported every 19 Seconds since the Year 2001; It occurs when someone's personal information is stolen and a credit card account is opened in the victim's name, without their permission , and charges are made to these account. It is worthy to note that identity fraud does not necessarily occur, when a credit card is simply stolen. Having looked at the most common types of Online Fraud, We have listed below the steps to prevent your account from being attacked. Avoiding Online Fraud:
Finally, it is
worthy to note that the most effective way to prevent fraud is to be proactive
in the design of your strategy. It is really scary to consider the
damages. What Strategy have you put in Place to prevent your Personal and Business Account from being attacked? Think about this and Act Immediately. If you need help with setting up a Fraud Resistance Accounting and Bookkeeping Strategy, we are just a Call away. We would love to hear from you. |

It's already
the eighth month of the Year, We are gradually getting to the end of the year,
and soon it will be time for Year End Reports. In our last Newsletter, We
discussed the concept of Cash Flow and how it affects our Business Operations;
this month, we will be looking at tips to manage our Business Cash Flow. Being in Business for yourself is like being an Air traffic controller, especially in the area of cash flow management ; You can imagine trying to control 100 Airplanes landing simultaneously on two runways; this can be an upheaval task, but we regularly see clients line up their monthly bills, their projected income, business projects and business expenses and try to combine all these activities, at the same time, trying to ensure a steady cash flow into the business; you can imagine, the projected outcome, if all these activities are not properly coordinated. Cash Flow is the heartbeat of every Business, and if a Business does not have the cash on hand to pay their vendors, they will definitely run into problems. The main Cash Flow Problem, that Business Owners face is as a result of Lack of Creative Cash Management. Below are some Tips to overcome the Ups and Downs of Cash Flow Problems in your Businesses: 1) Always Schedule All Payments: Most Business Owners line up their monthly bills, compile them, sit down and issue all the checks and set up Bill Payments at once; but the trick is to have a " Holding Pattern". It is advisable to schedule each payment, in order to get to your vendors in a timely landing, without affecting other Cash Flow activities. Every Business has Three (3) tiers of Checks Disbursements Groupings: a) Must Pay Group- These are payments that can hurt you, either in cost or ability to operate your business, if they are not paid. These include items like Taxes, Rents, Payroll and Service Charges. b) Important to Pay Group - These are payments, that have a reasonable grace period, and if not paid, a financial penalty can be incurred, as a result of Nonpayment. These include Utility Bills , Credit Card Payments and Insurance Payments . c) Flexible Payment Plan Group - Suppliers, Vendors and Wholesalers, that supply most Small Businesses are the best sources of flexible credit financing. Most of them will continue to work with you, if you arrange a regular payment plan with them.
2) Make
Payments on your Revenue, not on uncollected Sales : I am sure, that none
of us will want to land a plane, hoping that the runway is beneath us in the
fog bank, as also Business owners, it is not advisable to make projected
payments on uncollected revenue. You may wander, what happens to Credit
Facilities, Guess What, Most Credit Facilities still have a timeline for
payment.
3) Do
not use Payroll Taxes to float your Business Operations: Studies
have shown that most Business Owners use the Tax liabilities, collected
during payroll, to float their businesses, rather than remitting the payments
to the appropriate Tax Authorities. They don't realize that they spend
more in potential penalties, fees , interests, time and aggravation, if they
engage in this act. Tax Liabilities grow, if they are not remitted at the
appropriate timing.
4)
Establish Relationships with your Credit Provider: It is very important
for every business owner to plan for a rainy day. Having a great relationship
with a vendor, that gives you a credit facility, avoids cash flow
storms, which might bring in a sense of desperation or lack of control.
5)
Invest in a Good Bookkeeping/ Accounting Service: It is important for
Business Owners to have a grasp of their cash flow and understand the
effect on their business growth. A Good Bookkeeping service is invaluable to
your business, particularly in preparing your monthly financial reports and
cash flow statements, which will help you, see how your Business is doing as
well as maintaining your Business Cash flow.
