With 24 years of experience, Fausto's practice includes private company, governmental and not-for-profit audit and accounting, fraud investigation and consulting, and litigation support services.

What to expect: 

The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners estimates that fraud can cost organizations up to 6% of their gross revenues. All organizations that have been the victims of fraud realized once it was too late that fraud prevention was the best strategy. A strong system of internal controls along with other anti-fraud measures not only reduce the risk of fraud but also strengthen the company’s culture. After all, the overwhelming majority of employees are hard working and honest and they welcome controls and procedures that reduce the risk of fraud to their employers. We will explore who is committing the fraud, which industries are targeted most, red flags, prevention techniques, and what to do if you suspect fraud.

This webinar will discuss:

  • The red flags you want to look out for.
  • The weaknesses in your system that fraudsters try to exploit.
  • How the perpetrators commit their crimes.
  • Five simple steps to significantly reduce the risk that your organization will be the victim of fraud.
  • And more! 

Professionals like you constitute the first line of defense when it comes to helping your company avoid employment litigation.
