Occupational fraud and corruption have enormous negative consequences for victim organizations, investors and society in general. A study co-authored by Concordia’s Dominic Peltier-Rivest and the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (2007) shows that one quarter of all occupational fraud cases in Canada trigger losses of more than 1 million dollars. Corruption cases account for nearly 40% of all fraud cases in Canada.
This seminar will explain the importance of detecting and preventing fraud and corruption in order to limit the damages and consequences to organizations and individuals. Through presentations of relevant research findings, real examples and group discussions of recent business cases, this seminar will teach participants how to deter fraud and corruption, improve internal controls, enhance the likelihood of detection, and reduce opportunities for fraud and corruption.
