The Construction Audit & Cost Control Institute is pleased to announce this webinar aimed at helping auditors and managers in this challenging area.
Fraud related risks in construction abound. Fraud in construction billings costs owners millions, but fraud in the construction work itself can result in disaster. In addition, construction projects have been used to funnel payoffs to politicians and executives worldwide. Often fraudulent activities go unnoticed and unchallenged. Owner management and auditors can be part of the solution.
“This webinar is about what is going on with fraud in construction, including specific examples of fraud, along with common indicators of fraud occurrence,” says Courtenay Thompson, webinar presenter. “Construction-related fraud often goes undetected. Knowledge of construction fraud exposures and specific indicators help managers and auditors build processes and program steps to detect fraud.”
7 questions that can help in the fight against fraud in construction:
• How does construction fraud impact our own projects?
• How do we get executive commitment and mobilize management?
• What are the exposures – what is really going on with the construction fraud?
• If we have fraud in our construction projects, how do we know?
• How is fraud detected by auditors or management?
• What behavioral indicators might give us insight into fraud?
• How do we identify kickbacks and contractors getting too close to our employees?
