Canadian Payroll Association
Edward Nagel, Principal of nagel + associates is pleased to be once again speaking at the Canadian Payroll Association’s Annual Conference, being held in Whistler, BC. Edward will be speaking on June 17, 2020, on the topic “Why Sweat the Small Stuff? Because the Devil is in the Detail”.
We often hear people say that the ‘devil is in the detail’. This statement is certainly apropos when it comes to identifying financial fraud and errors in accounting records. On the surface, a transaction may seem to be in the normal course. However, like an iceberg, once you scratch beneath the surface, you may be surprised to find out what is really there. Fraud often occurs in organizations where the corporate culture breeds complacency. However, when armed with the tools and skills to know what to look out for, organizations can protect themselves in order to prevent/detect these kinds of schemes from occurring and thereby mitigating this risk. Led by a seasoned forensic accountant and citing real-life cases, this engaging session will explore the profile of a typical fraudster and what drives people to cross ethical boundaries. It will consider the types of payroll and related fraud schemes that have victimized organizations. The session will also address recent trends and best practices in fraud prevention, detection and investigation and the role of technology in today’s business environment.
