online seminar 2019 - Live Webinar Employee Travel and Expense Reimbursement Schemes: Detection and Prevention

Expense reimbursement fraud—encompassing the myriad forms of employee travel and entertainment (T&E) schemes as well as Purchasing Card (P-Card) fraud—costs organizations hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars per year
According to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE), expense reimbursement frauds result in a median loss of $26,000 per incident and represent 14.5% of all employee fraud.
While many of these schemes are considered “immaterial”—such as claiming reimbursement for a personal meal ... charging a pay-per-view movie to a business-related hotel bill ... or inflating the cost of a taxi ride—management should not underestimate the cumulative cost of these thefts.
This webinar will summarize the main types of reimbursement fraud to be alert to, including several “real life” case studies. It will then explain how to identify the red flags of possible reimbursement fraud, offer specific fraud-audit techniques and test for these crimes and conclude with a rundown of proven anti-fraud controls.
Learning Objectives
Participants will be able to:
Understand the many types of travel, entertainment and internal procurement frauds
Implement effective expense reimbursement fraud detection techniques and build audit practices to detect red flags of these crimes
Implement best-practice Anti-Fraud Control strategies for expense reimbursement fraud
