Program Description
As Part-3 of this series we will present solutions for not only detecting fraud in government organizations but also preventing it. Part of this approach will be looking at various aspects of risk (Operational, Compliance, Management) and how to best develop policies that assess that risk. The presentation will offer reasons for why fraud continues to occur inside of corporations by evaluating Audit Risks, Inherent Risks, Control Risks and Detection Risks.
The presenters will identify a practical warning system based on Five Categories of Fraud:
- Misstatement of Revenues - Misstatement of Expenditures - Misstatement of Assets/Liabilities - Inadequate Disclosure - Misappropriation of Assets and Failing To Provide for Future Liabilities - How Do they effect the valuator and what risks do they pose to the professionals, involved in public entity work
Learning Objectives
After completing this webinar, attendees will be able to:
- Design a risk asssessment through brainstorming sessions - Explain the importance of professional skepticism and know the right questions to ask - Explain that the importance of decisions professional make in their role and their possible consequences - Summarize everyone’s, including your own, responsibilities when working in a government organization, as it often puts you in a position of trust - Identify where “Trust” creates weaknesses in organizational oversight - List the inherent professional risks of working in governmental organizations (Misprision and personal liability (criminal and civil)) that the Professional can face - Utilize skills that allow for better consensus decision making through use of Rule of Three (If a consensus among 3 reasonable independent thinking people cannot be reached, then don’t do it) - Summarize how the valuator/professional safe guards his most importance assets, his reputation, and licenses
