Dear Colleague,

Fraud is everywhere, and it’s growing because of little emphasis on deterrence. Pricewaterhouse Coopers’ 2003 Global Economic Crime Survey, which polled 3,600 corporate executives in 50 countries, found that economic crime is a significant problem with no industry immune from its effects. The respondents’ major concerns were financial loss, damage to reputation and brand, and the effect on employee morale. The ACFE estimates that 5% of the U.S. gross domestic product (about $650 billion a year) is lost to fraud.

Recognising the challenges that organisations are facing in combating Financial Statement Fraud, ProEdge Global is pleased to present this 2-day Workshop on Financial Statement Fraud: Detect, Respond & Prevent. This will serve as an excellent opportunity to learn how best to protect your organization and step up on controls to prevent fraud.
