Managing Business Ethics - Fraud Prevention and Detection with Internal Controls

Ethics Training for CPA's and CFE's to meet their CPE requirements. Look at Ethics from the fraud examiner, investigator, auditor, accountant, attorney or business owner's perspective to prevent and detect and fraud.

This timely, one-half day training seminar is designed for CPA's, auditors, CFE's, controllers, finance managers, attorneys, IT professionals and department heads.

Ethics is the study of morality. "Ethics for the CPA" is concerned with business practices defining right and wrong. Ethical choice exists prior to the acceptance by any one individual. The professional should look at ethics not as a personal choice but a business construct. Ethical practices are a reflection on the right actions by the professional.

When the economy goes down, fraud goes up. Corporate fraud is more prevalent today than ever before. The layoffs, the increased pressure on corporate earnings, the incentives for compensation bonuses, the anonymity of the Internet, the ease at which personal information can be obtained, the automation of financial transactions, and the reduction in paper are all contributing factors.

We will discuss the important role that internal controls have in the overall profitability of companies. We will look at the ethical conduct issues that can occur in the implementation of internal controls focused on fraud. We will examine why people commit corporate fraud, and its impact on the perpetrator, the company, and our society. We will examine the frequency of fraud occurrence by company and by industry. And we will learn how we can deter and detect the frauds.

Cost of this seminar is $495/Attendee. Each attendee will receive 4 hours of CPE credit. To reserve your space click on the Sign-up Now and fill out a registration form and use a Buy Now Button to pay the fees.

Benefits of Attending

The primary goal of this course is to challenge CPAs and CFEs to implement internal controls to detect and prevent fraud. These internal controls need to be implemented within an ethical framework. We also want the attendees to recognize that the situations they will confront in looking for fraud. The choices for action coming from the results of detecting a fraud will not always be black and white.

The course is designed to encourage the professional to look for ethical situations which they might not ordinarily recognize as potential problems and to look at ethical dilemmas as they might be viewed with hindsight or might be perceived by others.

The instructors will candidly share their experience and present a pragmatic approach to using internal controls and responding the discovery of fraud.
