Description:

If yours is like most organizations, it has a well-crafted ethics policy as well, perhaps as a formal compliance policy. These are important for building a "corporate culture" of integrity and honesty. However, they generally do not go far enough when it comes to reducing the organization's risk of fraud. And fraud, after all, is among the most damaging threats to high standards of business integrity.

That's because most ethics and compliance policies address general aspects of employee behavior?including anti-discrimination, harassment, conflicts of interest and the necessity to adhere to all applicable regulations.

To truly reduce the likelihood that your employees will engage in fraudulent conduct, it is essential to build a clear anti-fraud "Tone at the Top" of zero-tolerance toward fraud and implement specific policies that explain to employees what constitutes fraud, how to recognize its red flags and how to take action.

Why Should you Attend:

Fraud is growing by a staggering 20% per year, according to the respected international fraud investigation firm, Kroll. The majority of all fraud, according to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners is committed by employees. Organizations that operate on the assumption that their existing ethics and compliance policies are sufficient to thwart fraud are misleading themselves and risking debilitating financial and reputational loss.

This makes crystal clear the urgent need for proactive anti-fraud actions by management to build a culture that minimizes opportunities, pressures and justifications for committing fraud. Employees generally want to conduct themselves honestly; but in organizations where management's attitude is one of ambivalence or outright tolerance of financial misconduct, the message to all is clear: Why not?
