Why Attend

Fraud has become the bane of most business Organizations especially in this difficult and inclement operating environment. Fraudsters abound both internally and externally, making it imperative for any serious Organization to protect itself form being fraud-infested. Any Organization that fails to protect itself is inadvertently inviting corporate undertakers to move in.

Protection against internal or external fraud should no longer be left to internal auditors alone, but should be the responsibility of everybody including top management staff Accountants, Security staff, Personnel and admin managers, external forces like the police force, External auditor, Security services men etc. Infact all hands must be on deck to check the menace of fraud in the work place.

In this very important workshop, new strategies in fraud detection, prevention and control will be exhaustively explored.
