Seminar Description:  All successful business Fraud Risk Management efforts address three levels of attack: Prevention, Quick Detection and Effective Incident Response. We’ll kick off this full-day workshop program with a six-step prevention framework. Then we’ll work through a proven three-step fraud detection plan that can be applied by anyone in any entity or industry. We’ll round out the day with a discussion of what to do and what to avoid once wrongdoing, theft and fraud are suspected or known. Throughout the day we’ll use real-world cases and exposures as the basis for extensive participant brainstorming and discussion.
