Government financial managers and auditors at all levels will gain a better understanding of the challenges facing our organizations regarding the impact of fraud and corruption. This audio conference will cover the following topics:
--Latest statistics (including types, frequencies, perpetrators and victims) of occupational fraud and corruption
--Impact of fraud and corruption on the workplace and economy
--Impact of the economy on fraud and corruption
--Highlight several fraudulent activities perpetrated on governmental entities
--Trends in detection of fraud
--Impact of internal control systems on the prevention, detection and deterrence of fraud and corruption.
Continued study into fraud and corruption prevention, detection and deterrence is a must for government financial managers. With the financial pressures many are facing in our country today, statistics show fraudulent activity in the workplace is on the rise. Combine the increased personal financial pressures with the fact many governmental entities are not filling vacant positions and are downsizing, a recipe for increased fraud exists. Fewer people are now doing more tasks throughout governmental entities, which are creating challenges in their internal control systems. Now, more than ever, government financial managers must be vigilant against fraud and corruption in the workplace.
To share his practical experience in auditing and academic research on internal controls and fraud is William A. Morehead, Ph.D., CGFM, CPA, Chair of Accountancy, CIS and Finance, Delta State University, AGA National President, AGA Past National Treasurer, and Chair, AGA National Executive Committee.
Please plan to 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.
