Benefits
A typical organization loses an estimated five percent of its annual revenue due to fraud. If you apply that estimate to the 2009 Gross World Product, this fraud equates to more than $2.9 trillion dollars lost each year to fraud. This live audio conference will educate listeners to the different varieties of occupational fraud and relevant statistics. We will provide a foundation to the listeners as to who perpetrates the fraud, how they are detected, and what companies can do to mitigate fraud losses. The live audio conference will also address what role accountants can play in this detection/prevention.
