AGA,
in conjunction with the State
Comptroller’s Office and Department of
Transportation, and the Association of
State Auditors, Comptrollers and
Treasurers (NASACT) and the Association of
Local Government Auditors (ALGA), is
pleased to announce a new and increasingly
important topic to our audio conference
schedule–Fraud Prevention and
Detection–The Cost with No Return.
Unlike a theft or vandalism
against an organization, fraud is a quiet,
unseen crime that is designed to go
undetected and hidden from the light of
day. Its perpetrators hide in the shadows
and gaps within the existing internal
control structures to avoid detection and
continue their unlawful enterprise.
But what exactly is fraud? How
do you detect it? Who is responsible for
detecting and preventing fraud? Good
questions, but what are the answers?
This audio conference is
designed to give the participants some of
the answers. Participants will get a
contemporary definition of fraud which
clearly differentiates it from
mismanagement and waste. It also gives
participants many real work,
experience-generated signs of how to
recognized fraud in procurement awards and
employee actions. Finally, the program
will touch on who is responsible for
detecting and preventing it in the first
place.
Please join us for two hours of
lively discussion about this important and
timely topic.
In addition to the speaker’s
commentary, there will be approximately 20
minutes for Q & A so that the participants
can ask the speaker questions and share
their own experiences.
Remember to register
early: capacity is limited at both
locations.
