Previously on this blog, I wrote an article " How to prevent fraud in business: Part 1" , so today I decided to write part 2. The risk of fraudulent activities exist in all companies. The use of CCTV camera works very well, use sophisticated cameras that can still reveal the identity of an individual in the dark. Yes, the CCTV camera is quite effective at preventing fraud. This will be applicable to companies that can afford such facilities

If you receive a lot of money in cash on a regular basis, your staff must be instructed to take some amount to the bank (halal account) once it reaches a particular threshold. Only authorised personnels can take the money to the bank. When purchases need to be made by the company, it should be approved by 2 to 3 persons depending on the amount that needs to be spent.

A sophisticated information system must be used once they can be afforded, they must be re-evaluated frequently for loop holes so they can then be adjusted to prevent fraudsters from taking advantage of it. Every staff that deals with financial transactions must have a personal account that requires a password to post transactions. Staff must be made to change their passwords every three months and the system should not allow them to use old passwords. All of these will help prevent fraud within your businesses. That is all I have for you today, check out for part 3.

Make sure your business is halal. Everything happens according to the will of Allah. Everything should be done deliberately for the sake of Allah. Part of doing something deliberately for the sake of Allah means hoping for a reward from Him (in this life and life after death).

Halal means anything lawful Islamically.

The saverholic

I always say first save your money in an halal account, once it has reached a particular threshold start investing. The saverholic only saves and saves and saves and cannot afford to take well calculated risks. Because, all you do is to save money. Invest in other markets, the higher the risk the higher the return, diversify your investment portfolio. All individuals that have achieved financial growth of great heights are risk takers, and they know that some risk might turn out negative but they know is all part of the process. They learn from it and apply it to the next risk they take and eventually they become experts at the risk they take (risk taken should not be excessive(too much uncertainty)). Then they end up having 80% success rates which I think is good enough. Make sure your business is halal. Give charity regularly from your income, Allah loves charity an...

The need for constant power supply in developing nations

Hello readers, I will be writing about electricity today. I will be using Nigeria as a case study. Electricity is one of the factors that contributes to the success of an organisation. Developed countries have been able to maintain a constant power supply. If they are able to have constant power then it is achievable. Constant electricity could attract good companies, thereby creating employment opportunities. This could alievate poverty in the developing countries. Thus, the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of the economy will improve. The challenge here with having constant power supply is also not to pollute the environment as fossil fuel is mostly used for the supply of electricity. Greener alternatives could be used such as tidal energy and wind energy. In my opinion, electricity could be constant in Nigeria if the industry is privatised. The privitisation of the telephone industry made mobile phone easily accessible by individuals. Most people own a phone, both ...
