Overview:
This webinar will provide a practical overview of the most common and costly forms of AP fraud today and then focus on the best ways to both detect and prevent such crimes. Case studies will be cited to help illustrate key points.
Emphasis will be placed on the practical, "how-to" steps for early detection of red flags of AP fraud and the corresponding anti-fraud controls that, when properly implemented, will materially reduce the organization's risk of falling victim to both internal and external AP fraud.
The Webinar will conclude with an introductory discussion about continuous controls monitoring and continuous auditing-two key components of long-term fraud risk mitigation.
Why should you Attend: Accounts Payable (AP) is the one business process that, in most organizations, is more vulnerable to fraud than any other. That is because virtually all funds that flow out of the organization must first pass through AP. And as we all know, fraudsters know all too well how to concentrate their illegal efforts where the money is most plentiful and most available.
Result: It is more important than ever for management to focus professional and financial resources to identifying and eliminating any anti-fraud control weaknesses in the AP process
