Event Description
Local government agencies are particularly vulnerable to workplace fraud and employee dishonesty. Administrators, including finance officers, are tasked to prevent the problem, handle the incident and implement effective controls to prevent and deter future misconduct. Discovered incidents send shock waves through the organization and force management to deal with many unfamiliar issues. Getting back to the business of government is a time-consuming and challenging process.
This presentation addresses common fraud schemes in the area of asset misappropriation and procurement and vendor fraud and identifies hot spots where these frauds most often occur. Case studies of actual events will be used to illustrate the concepts presented. Effective internal controls will be presented and discussed as well as best practices in incident handling and the creation of a fraud prevention system.
