Does your organization have an effective fraud risk management program? Are you aware of all the areas in the business where fraud can occur? If not, you could be leaving your organization vulnerable to fraud.
Many internal audit professionals tend to underestimate the role of fraud in the scope of their professional duties. With organizations losing an estimated 5% of their annual revenues to fraud, the need for a strong anti-fraud stance and proactive, comprehensive approach to combating fraud is clear. As organizations increase their focus on risk, they should take the opportunity to consider, enact and improve measures to detect, deter and prevent fraud.
This comprehensive session will guide participants through building a robust fraud risk management framework from the ground up. We will explore the full spectrum of fraud vulnerabilities across different business functions; and examine real-world case studies that illustrate how fraud schemes exploit organizational weaknesses. Attendees will learn how to conduct enterprise-wide fraud risk assessments using proven methodologies.
