Join us on September 29th for a dual discussion on Fraud and Ethics with Shelley Hayes, Liezel Pistorius, and Elaye Ometoruwa-Miyebi for 2.0 CPEs.

We will also address Fraud prevention, a complex and evolving concern that requires a proactive approach. As the persistent threat of fraud continues to plague organizations - driven by rapid technological advancements and evolving sophistication of fraudsters - it’s imperative to remain vigilant and protect against risks – but what does a comprehensive fraud risk management program look like, who is responsible for it, and how can you help to protect your organization?
