Webinar Highlights

Fraud impacts every person and every organization. Regardless of size, structure, geography, or demographics, every organization is subject to fraud. Many individuals refer to fraud "red flags."
These are signs that indicate there is the potential for fraud to occur. Red flags do not mean fraud has occurred.

There are many presentations on “top frauds." Be cognizant of how the presenter is focusing the discussion. Top frauds could relate to various areas. Examples of top fraud schemes include: financial statement, revenue/disclosures/ presentation, cyber and internet/personal frauds, asset misappropriation, and corruption.

In this webinar, we review information on the top fraud schemes by focusing on the three categories as defined by the ACFE fraud tree. We also evaluate the most common schemes by industry as outlined by the updated ACFE report to the Nations.
