 Fraud Prevention Seminar
Tuesday, November 19th
12:00 - 2:00 p.m.
Veterans Memorial Library Annex Meeting Room 
301 S. University Street

Join Kit Powell, a certified fraud examiner from H&S Companies, for a discussion on ways to reduce your company's fraud risk.

Fraud is an expensive drain on a company's financial resources and a common risk that should not be ignored. It is now so common that its occurrence is no longer remarkable, only its scale. Organizations with poor fraud prevention processes face increased vulnerability to fraud. Is your business properly protected?

Cost is $15 for members and $20 for non-members and includes lunch by Erbert & Gerbert's Sandwich Shop.  Register by emailing Nicole at nbaer@mt-pleasant.net or REGISTER ONLINE.
