Explain the meaning of Exit Checks and Clawbacks.
Answer & Explanation:
Answer 2A(i) Exit interviews , particularly when employees are performing and are remunerated well, can raise red flags about possible involvement in fraud. Somewhere there are likely to be some answers which do not add up. The organization can then investigate. Clawback provisions in employment agreements; which enable the company to recover incentive and additional compensation paid to executives are an effective deterrent tool, since executive compensation tends to be largely performance linked. Clawback provisions would provide for recovery of such compensation (usually other than the base salary) in case of fraudulent misrepresentation or misstatements. The biggest fraud prevention mechanisms are, in reality growth oriented companies which have appropriate recognition and remuneration mechanisms and thus, a high employee morale. A positive community environment is difficult to quit, and even more difficult to ditch.
