A New Look at Fraud
A New Look at Fraud
Overview:
The world economy has survived fraudulent financial reporting, bribery and public corruption, money laundering and Ponzi schemes, tax fraud and contractor fraud as well as a seemingly endless parade of remarkably large embezzlements. The response of legislation, regulation and enforcement has been largely ineffective. Some fraud cannot surface until it has grown so large that it can no longer be ignored, or until investigative journalists get involved.
Where is management while all this is happening?
And the board? And the regulators? And the auditors?
Exceptional auditors who successfully address fraud without becoming gotcha auditors provide a great service to their organizations and enjoy professional satisfaction.
This one-day seminar takes a fresh look at fraud and explores factors contributing to fraud growing and going undetected. It will provide practical approaches auditors can use to deter and detect fraud.
Topics covered include:
- Fraud related roles for auditors and management
- How to address current fraud-related risks
- Fraud involving third parties
- Getting commitment from management and others
- How to overcome barriers to addressing fraud
- How to see what others don’t
- Detecting fraud in routine audit activity
- Using data mining and analytics
The seminar will include case examples and exercises designed to reinforce concepts presented, along with suggestions and materials auditors can use to gain buy in from management.
