Topic Background:

The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners reports that 43% of frauds that are detected are through employee tips. That tells us that with a workforce trained in how to identify the red flags of actual or potential fraud, your organization is way ahead of the competition in terms of staying a step ahead of the fraudsters. A confidential tip hotline is one of the best ways to gather such tips. But it is not the only way. This webinar will provide a thorough overview of best practices in training employees to recognize fraudulent conduct and how to report it—without fear of retaliation.
