WEBINAR: Fraud and Forensics – Part 1

Steps to take to identify fraud, fraudsters and what to do when you are aware of fraud

An Australian Institute of Criminology (AIC) report states that fraud costs more than $6 billion per year – which is
more than any other type of crime in our society, business or otherwise. Fraud makes up more than 12% of the total estimated crime cost of $47.6b per year.

When an organisation’s integrity and reputation are undermined due to fraud it can have devastating consequences on the business and its stakeholders. Unfortunately no one is protected against fraud and those who are willing to commit fraud do not discriminate. It can occur in large and small companies across various industries all around the world.

Join Bernard Whebell from Ulton as he discusses and covers the following topics:
• Types of fraud
• Steps to take to identify fraud (signs of fraud)
• Profile of a fraudster
• How and why does fraud occur
• What to do when you are aware of fraud

This is the first instalment of a two part Fraud and Forensics series which will help you and your employees become your first line of defence against fraud. Part two will be held on 3rd March 2016. Visit www.cciq.com.au/events to register.
