Expense reimbursement fraud is among the hardest employee crimes to detect and prevent, largely because it can be committed in so many ways. This 90-minute expense reimbursement fraud webinar summarizes the main schemes and analyzes several real-life case studies.
You'll look at who commits fraud and why, using the fraud triangle, then at common schemes: bogus receipts, duplicate claims, personal use of corporate cards and P-cards, claims just under approval limits, over-purchasing and exploiting AP weaknesses.
The session explains the red flags of each scheme, how T&E fraud is usually detected, data mining and fraud audit techniques, and the general and specific controls that deter and prevent it.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Any weakness in your reimbursement processes gives employees an opening. This webinar shows how vulnerable your organization is, how to audit for these schemes and how to tighten your controls.
It suits internal and external auditors, accounting practitioners, HR managers, CFOs and senior financial managers, payables and procurement specialists, compliance and ethics managers, and fraud investigators and examiners.
