In this engaging, conversational and unconventional presentation, Greg and Caleb will give a broad overview of the impact of occupational fraud on the economy and the accounting profession. They will explore characteristics of the typical fraudster, red flag behaviors associated with fraud, and internal controls that most effectively battle against fraud. Case studies are examined to analyze how real world victims of fraud could have either prevented fraud or detected it earlier.
