CPE: 2 Hours AGA, in conjunction with the National Association of State Auditors, Comptrollers and Treasurers (NASACT) and the Association of Local Government Auditors (ALGA) is pleased to announce a new and increasingly important topic to our audio conference schedule–Fraud Prevention and Detection–The Cost with No Return. Unlike a theft or vandalism against an organization, fraud is a quiet, unseen crime that is designed to go undetected and hidden from the light of day. Its perpetrators hide in the shadows and gaps within the existing internal control structures to avoid detection and continue their unlawful enterprise. But what exactly is fraud? How do you detect it? Who is responsible for detecting and preventing fraud? Good questions, but what are the answers? This audio conference is designed to give the participants some of the answers. Participants will get a contemporary definition of fraud which clearly differentiates it from mismanagement and waste. It also gives participants many real work, experience-generated signs of how to recognized fraud in procurement awards and employee actions. Finally, the program will touch on who is responsible for detecting and preventing it in the first place. To share his practical experiences in auditing and investigating fraud is Bruce N. Crandlemire, CPA, Senior Consultant with EAM, Inc./Mosley & Associates, who has more than 31 years of audit and investigative experience in the federal government and inspector general community, including the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Government Accountability Office (GAO). 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.
