The fraud expectations for CPAs are at an all time high. Despite what the professional standards and engagement letters say, most client managers and owners believe that CPAs have expertise in the prevention, detection and handling of wrongdoing and fraud. These beliefs, while often flawed, can still result in a gap between what is wanted and what CPAs are capable of delivering.

This interactive seminar will provide specific steps to help professional auditors and accountants fully meet fraud-handling expectations. The “how to” approach helps participants identify fraud exposures and risks and provides practical ideas on how to handle those exposures. Course materials include examples of what can go wrong and how fraud is reflected in the records. Also included are planning ideas as well as suggestions for handling fraud when it is discovered.

This seminar utilizes a combination of lecture, discussion and short exercises. The program length is one full day. In accordance with the standards of the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) Continuing Professional Education credits have been calculated based on a 50-minute hour.
