Event Description
A strong system of internal controls not only deters fraud but also supports greater efficiency and legal compliance within the local government business function. This seminar identifies types and common methods of employee dishonesty, the role of the external auditor to detect fraud, and the personality of a fraudster. The COSO system is discussed and the all-important concept of separation of duties is presented in a practical, easy to apply context. And because fraud can and will happen, the appropriate way to handle the shock and resulting investigation is outlined.
Learning Objectives: Participants completing this session will be able to:
- Become conversant with the who, when, what, why and how of fraud and employee dishonesty in government;
- Define internal control and understand the five components of an effective internal control system;
- Understand the principle of separation of duties and the functions it means to separate; and
- Leave with a Fraud Incident Management Protocol and a plan to handle incidents of fraud when they occur.
Speaker: Mary A. OConnor, ASA, CFE, CRE, CMI, Partner, Forensic and Valuation Services, Sikich LLP
