Despite all of the recent attention on the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, fraud risks are not limited to financial reporting areas. Executives and employees are expected to prevent wrongdoing in all areas as part of their daily duties. And when prevention efforts fail, we are also expected to detect incidents promptly and handle them effectively. In short, we are all being held to a higher level of accountability – regardless of whether we are directly covered by the Act or by the many “cascade effect” regulations at the state level.

As a result, many managers and employees are finding that they have responsibilities without the skills necessary to fulfill those responsibilities. World-class organizations are recognizing this shortfall in skills and are teaching employees what they need to know to handle fraud challenges. This program does just that – it shows participants how to effectively manage the fraud risks in their areas of responsibility.

This seminar utilizes a combination of lecture, discussion and short exercises. The most effective minimum length is one full day. Summary programs lasting from one to four hours are available for executive briefings, management meetings and conferences. Content and areas of emphasis can be tailored to client needs for all programs. 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.
