AGA National Audio Conference: Fraud Detection and Prevention - The Cost with No Return

 

Unlike a theft or vandalism against an organization, fraud is a quiet, unseen crime that is designed to go undetected and hidden from the light of day. Its perpetrators hide in the shadows and gaps within the existing internal control structures to avoid detection and continue their unlawful enterprise. But what exactly is fraud? How do you detect it? Who is responsible for detecting and preventing fraud? Good questions, but what are the answers?
Please join us for two hours of lively discussion about this important and timely topic.  In addition to the speakers' commentary, there will be approximately 20 minutes for Q & A so that the participants can ask the speaker questions and share their own experiences.

Where: Clarion Hotel, 3 Watervliet Avenue, Albany
