Fraud continues to plague businesses at epidemic levels and internal control omissions and failures are a large reason because of which fraud occurs.

  • They don’t know what fraud looks like.

This presentation discusses the many indicators of fraud that the auditor should always be cognizant of and the audit procedures specifically designed to detect fraud. In addition, the concept of professional skepticism, how one obtains it and its importance in detecting fraud will also be discussed.

This was one of the best presented webinars I have participated in. Instructor was very informative and practical in the application of the principles. After many, many years of auditing, I could tell that he was practical and right on with every point.
