Financial reporting fraud can prove costly for investors and other capital market stakeholders. This webcast will explore a new Anti-Fraud Collaboration report, The Fraud-Resistant Organization: Tools, Traits, and Techniques to Deter and Detect Financial Reporting Fraud. The report takes a fresh look at best practices for fraud deterrence and detection, highlighting the critical importance of collaboration on this issue between and among the key players in the financial reporting supply chain. Join our panel of experts as they bring life to the three central themes of The Fraud-Resistant Organization—strong “tone at the top,” skepticism, and robust communications—and explain how financial supply chain participants can incorporate these important techniques into their respective roles. Panelists will also address the challenges that multinational companies face in executing effective fraud deterrence and detection programs. As discussed in The Fraud Resistant Organization, these challenges include language barriers, differing cultural norms, and conflicting regulatory requirements. We encourage all of the key players in the financial reporting supply chain—audit committee members, financial executives, internal auditors, and external auditors—as well as compliance professionals, to register for this informative program. |
