Fraud Prevention is one seminar you cannot afford to miss. Fraud will affect you in some manner. Prepare for the inevitable.
A recent study by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners estimated that fraud costs the global economy more than $3.5 trillion per year. This same study estimated that normal audits discover only about 11% of fraudulent acts, compared to 19% discovered by accident.
This seminar examines various types of fraud and discusses ways to prevent, detect and investigate these activities.
Topics Discussed
- The Fraud Triangle
- A complete analysis of fraud prevention, detection and investigation
