Description

According to Donald Cressey's Fraud Triangle, opportunity is one of the three critical factors (along with rationalization and pressure) in every fraud. Just as criminals case a home or business before breaking in, fraudsters search for weak internal controls they can exploit to perpetrate and conceal their crimes. Fraud examiners with a working knowledge of internal controls have a tremendous advantage.  
 
In this webinar, you will learn about the internal control weaknesses that frequently lead to fraud through case studies that demonstrate how perpetrators abused them. You will also explore how you can use your knowledge of internal controls to prevent fraud, find it fast when it occurs and make your investigations more efficient and productive. 

Prerequisites

Attendees should be familiar with basic internal control concepts and fraud investigation techniques.

You Will Learn How To:

Apply your knowledge of internal controls to sharpen the focus of fraud investigations and make them more productive.

Explore the state of internal controls in today's business environment and learn why they often fail.

Identify ways to improve your fraud prevention and detection efforts.

Recognize the control weaknesses that commonly lead to fraud, including the "Terminal Two."
