DON'T GET BURNED
Fraud Detection and Prevention for the Not-For-Profit Sector
Whether your budget is $50,000 or $50,000,000, your organization could be a victim of fraud. "Don't Get Burned" can prepare you to be pro-active in protecting your finances by strengthening your internal controls and assessing potential risks.
This training seminar offered by the New York State Office of the State Comptroller (OSC) seeks to educate not-for-profit staff and board members on how to prevent and detect fraud within their organizations.
This session:

♦ Includes case studies of actual fraud in the not-for-profit sector as experienced first-hand by the course instructors.

♦ Features various takeaway tools for immediate use, such as a fraud risk assessment tool, the “Red Flags for Fraud” handbook, an internal control self-assessment survey, a fraud detection checklist, and model versions of an ethics policy and code of conduct.
♦ Includes interactive participation and question-and-answer opportunities with expert forensic auditors.
♦ Offers CPEs for eligible accountants.
