Fraud, Waste, & Abuse:  Is it Your Business? 

With technology advances increasing the speed of business it is also increasing the risks and opportunities for cyber theft, embezzlement, industrial espionage, and many other types of fraud and abuse.  In fact, your organization could be losing 5% or more of revenue to fraud, waste and abuse. 

Nearly every for-profit and nonprofit organization has some level of fraud, waste, or abuse.  The more important questions are how much and how to find it?  

According to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners research, U.S. organizations lose an estimated 5 percent of annual revenues to fraud and abuse. The risk and potential for fraud are often overlooked because organization’s trust their employees.  In reality, TRUST is not a control so executives must be educated, informed, and aware of the risks of fraud and abuse, especially as the business grows, and more reliance placed upon employees to manage the day-to-day operations and affairs of the business.  This exclusive workshop, sponsored in partnership by FraudAware, J.
