Forensic Accounting

Finding and Preventing Fraud

Forensic Accounting is one seminar you cannot afford to miss. Fraud will touch you in some manner. Prepare for the inevitable.

A recent study by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners estimated that fraud costs the economy in excess of $650 billion per year (the equivalent of $4,500 per employee). This same study estimated that the course of normal audits discovers only about 11% of frauds versus approximately 19% discovered by accident.

This seminar will examine various types of frauds and discuss ways to prevent, detect and investigate these activities. The seminar will also examine the CPA’s role as an expert witness.
