Fraud is a reality for all entities. Whether perpetrated by insiders or outsiders it could be occurring at a material level. Corporate management charged with the responsibility for good internal controls must consider the possibility of fraud. Auditors (external and internal) must also consider, identity and assess fraud risk threats.

In recent years the old misappropriation of assets type frauds have given way to the new frauds – fraudulent financial reporting. The latter represents the “cooking” of the books (for example, manipulate the books to generate higher earnings for bonus purposes).

This fraud webinar is an excellent overview of the entire fraud situation and in particular the auditors responsibility re: fraud.  This training specifically focuses on fraud in the corporate environment. It re-visits and clarifies some of the authoritative CPA literature related to fraud. Webinar coverage is equally important for CPAs and non-CPAs (e.g. internal auditors, corporate departmental managers, senior management, board members).

Attendees will gain a basic understanding of fraud related definitions and requirements. In particular it separates the fraud discussion between:

• Fraudulent financial reporting (“cook-the-books” type frauds); and

This critical fraud webinar also helps participants:

• Identify business risks, assess those risks, and develop a response to the fraud risk assessment.
