Prevention & Detection of Fraud In Small Businesses
Monday, June 30, 2025 | 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Course # 169825 | by ACPEN
What you will learn
  • Identify the opportunities to commit fraud in a small business environment
  • Understanding how to address just four weaknesses could reduce the opportunity to commit fraud by an average of 75%
  • Observe behavioral red flags often exhibited by fraud perpetrators
  • Analyze the control environment
  • Recognize the number one internal control weakness that is often present in small businesses
  • Design effective internal controls to reduce material fraud in small businesses
Description

As reported in the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners Occupational Fraud 2022:  A Report to the Nations, on average, small businesses lose 5% of their revenue due to fraud.  Can the average small business owner afford to lose 5% of their revenue due to fraud?  I think not.  This presentation is designed to illustrate the numerous ways employees commit fraud in small businesses, how to detect it, and most importantly, how to prevent it.  Both auditors and small business owners would both benefit from this presentation.



Prerequisites:
None

Advanced Preparation:
