Why Should You Attend
More and more Procurement Fraud is costing organizations substantial sums which can be directly deducted from corporate profits.
Topic Background
Accounts payable fraud is among the most ubiquitous and damaging of frauds that affect businesses of all sizes. It’s also among the easiest frauds to perpetrate since most of the money leaving a company legitimately goes through the accounts payable function.
Apart from highlighting failures to follow rules in a procurement process, an Accounts Payable audit flashes out deficiencies in the procurement system and procedures. Irregularities such as fraud and corruption are exposed in the manner goods and services are sourced.
