Jul
Join Leanna Reeves, reporter at Financial Director and Accountancy Age, Nick Ludlow, Vice President at Chrome River and Gareth Evans, Sionic Director and fraud prevention specialist for this one-hour webinar starting at 3pm BST to:
- discover some of the most common and sophisticated ways that employees and external actors can perpetrate fraud;
- understand the key causes of fraud within an organisation;
- and gain invaluable insight into how these can be prevented.
Research has revealed that 81% of organisations saw fraud increasing amid economic downturns of the Great Recession. Employee embezzlement, such as expense fraud, rose by 48%, while fraud by outside third parties, such as invoice fraud, rose by 37%. With an uncertain economic outlook, organisations need to ensure that they have the tools and processes in place to avoid a repeat in 2020.
