There is also an accelerated approach towards the enforcement of regulations and related activities. The long and short term impact of corruption and fraud can negatively affect and dent the reputation of a lot of mining & metal organisations. Furthermore, this can have a lasting negative impact on a company's business profits while regulatory changes can impact on a company's ability to draw investment. The mining and metals industry is the sole driver behind many economies around the world, and the rapid growth and expansion of this industry opens up opportunities for fraud and corruption. The financial meltdown across the globe has had a negative impact on mining & metals companies, and this has necessitated for more comprehensive measures against fraud and corruption activities. The great exposure to risk has opened up windows to fraud and corrupt practices both in the metals and mining industry. Over the recent months, South African mining has been faced with the most volatile circumstances, following the violent strikes which negatively impacted on the sector in general. The mining & metals sector is also faced with challenges of abiding to social corporate responsibilities, shortage of required skills and the underlying governmental pressure to meet revenue expectations. Additionally, mining & metals companies have a responsibility to effectively control and guard against risk exposure as this is part of meeting corporate governance responsibilities.
