What were some of the top frauds in the last year? How have criminals continued to victimize individuals, businesses, not-for-profits, and government entities? How has the increased reliance on technology made it easier for criminals to steal from their victims? How can we make individuals more aware of the potential red flags for various fraud schemes?
One of the main reasons CPAs and other accountants often fail to detect fraud is that they are too honest. They find it difficult to think like a criminal. This webinar will help individuals who would like to refresh their understanding of fraud schemes and to learn how to recognize the red flags for detecting fraud. Understanding how criminals commit fraud is the first step in preventing fraud. We will review the basic fraud theories and discuss why people commit fraud.
