Employee fraud takes many forms: embezzlement, kickbacks, check fraud, financial statement fraud and vendor billing schemes, plus newer computer and internet-based schemes as technology advances.
This 60-minute employee fraud training starts with a statistical overview, who commits fraud and why, using the fraud triangle, and lessons from fraudsters. You'll review common internal fraud types and red flags, how to run a fraud risk assessment, and the fraud risk mitigation cycle.
The session then covers detection, including how frauds are most often found, data mining and analytics, and fraud audit techniques, followed by prevention: who should manage anti-fraud work and best practices such as segregation of duties, delegation of authority and background checks.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Organizations of every type and size face growing fraud threats, and employee fraud makes up the majority of fraud against organizations. This webinar gives you practical knowledge of how common frauds work, how to recognize their red flags and how to close the control gaps that give dishonest employees opportunities.
It suits auditors, internal control, finance and accounting, compliance and ethics, loss prevention, security professionals and fraud examiners.
