How to Fraudproof Your Not-for-profit Organisation

Research shows most companies have been defrauded in the last 10 years. If you don't think you have then you need to attend this seminar.

An organisation should never say “it can’t happen to me”. Fraud can occur in any organisation. If you want to implement appropriate controls and processes to reduce the likelihood of fraud in your organisation it is important to first understand why people commit fraud and what are the major fraud risk areas for in your organisation.

Armed with that knowledge, you can then put in place appropriate processes to curb the opportunities for fraud to occur in your the organisation - pick it up quickly if it does occur. The longer fraud goes undetected, the greater the impact on the organisation.
