The balancing act of providing an excellent customer experience
and committing to the duties of fraud mitigation has become a daily
struggle for many companies, which only appears to deepen over the last
decade considering the growth of online payment methods and internet
shopping. A difficult assessment for a company to make is determining
whether or not a certain transaction has been approved or is simply an
act of fraud, though should an incorrect evaluation made and a
legitimate customer be investigated, the damage the ends up resulting
from this can damage the company's reputation, thus costing the company
more than just money.
Companies that handle a high volume of online transaction payment face this risk, as where blocking the payments and prospective source of fraud can rebound on the company.Many companies have been forced to bring a new focus and drive to their fraud risk management strategies in an attempt to avoid falling victim while at the same time trying to avoid incurring any undue consequences in response to these difficulties.
A certain level of trust exists in any such business activity in regards to payment legitimacy between the customer and vendor.

Nearly three quarters of all businesses have faced some degree of payment fraud performed in the last two years, whether the person pulled it off or not.
Alienating customers is one of the risks that these methods have through the use of over cautionary measures, to combat this there are certain software programs which can be applied to help cut down on this sort of activity. One technique that can be an excellent fraud deterrent, especially in cases of high cost purchases, is one where the customer must provide a password that has to be verified by the credit card company, but when levied on the people making smaller purchases can become a nuisance which will result in an abandonment of this system.
Developing and implementing their own anti-fraud program sand techniques, which many companies have started to do, have proven highly effective in systemizing fraud prevention efforts, though these are not a guaranteed solution to the problem.
To begin with, through training and leadership, turning each and every one of a company's employees into a fraud risk management tool, these strategies attempt to create a risk management oriented culture for the company which extends beyond those concerns listed above, into every aspect of the business. To track and monitor the activity of all accounts as cases of electronic fraud and theft cases increase so too must the efforts on the part of a companies accounting departments. Lastly, to show that they have taken a serious stand on this issue, companies will have to publicly display that they are able to react. Finally, companies will need to be able to publicly display that they have taken a serious stand on this issue and are able to react rapidly and effectively to handle the matter if they want to deter future attempts.
