Course Overview

If you are working in the accounting or auditing field, and you do work for clients who operate restaurants or bars? If so, at some time in your career it may be necessary to conduct a fraud investigation at a restaurant or bar.

This online course is specifically designed to cover topics important to fraud investigation professionals conducting fraud investigations for restaurants and bars. In many instances, criminal and civil cases cannot move forward because the evidence is gathered incorrectly and is therefore inadmissible in court.

Our course instructor Dr. Robert Minniti will review the steps and discuss potential pitfalls as well as some of the legal issues involved in conducting fraud investigations at restaurants and bars. We will discuss issues that commonly arise when working with restaurant and bar owners and managers on a fraud investigation. We will discuss issues with employee fraud, vendor fraud, and customer fraud. Real-world examples will be provided to help the participants understand the material in the course.

Major Topics Covered:

  • The basics of fraud, including restaurant and bar fraud cases and money laundering steps.
  • Initiate and plan a fraud investigation, addressing conflicts of interest and important investigative concepts.
  • Complying with Federal Rules of Evidence while gathering and documenting evidence, ensuring proper chain of custody.
  • Avoid illegal investigation activities and use various methods to verify information.
  • Conduct effective interviews as part of the fraud investigation process.
  • Manage post-fraud reactions and understand how to document and report findings.

Join our highly informative CPE Fraud webinar and equip yourself with essential procedures to conduct thorough and precise investigations.
