Does auditing gift and entertainment practices really make a difference? Attendees can compare their organization’s practices to best practices. The webinar will include a step by step approach that can be used for addressing systemic problems. Learn how being overly friendly with contractors can work against your organization and the single action that can change the culture.
“There is too much fraud on construction projects, but errors leading to overcharge and nonperformance can be even more costly,” says Courtenay Thompson, webinar presenter. “Some organizations do a better job than others in protecting their construction projects from fraud, overcharge and nonperformance. Excessive gifts and entertainment seem to correlate with bribery and kickbacks, but even when there is no fraud the goodwill associated with friendly socializing may result in less rigorous inspection and scrutiny of billings.”
Previous attendees noted the “brief, to-the-point, efficient presentation” with “good thoughts on things to look at for excessive gifting.” “Courtenay’s experience and effective delivery of the most meaningful material was in a format that was very easy to digest and understand.” “I enjoyed the learning opportunity and will look forward to attending future webinars from CAACCI.”
