In an interview with Dünya Newspaper, Cerebra Founder Fikret Sebilcioğlu shared his insights on fraud risks in NGOs, corporate governance, and the importance of fostering an ethical culture.
During the interview, Sebilcioğlu discussed how transparency and accountability can be strengthened within NGOs, the governance risks arising from multi-stakeholder structures, how to strike the right balance between speed and oversight during disasters and crises, and the independent investigation processes that should be followed when fraud is suspected.
Emphasizing that trust is sustained not by good intentions alone but by strong governance mechanisms, Sebilcioğlu stated that CSOs should redesign their internal control and audit systems with a stronger focus on preventing fraud risks. He also highlighted that independent whistleblowing mechanisms, effective internal controls, the proper management of conflicts of interest, and data-driven monitoring are essential pillars of a robust governance framework.
