WNDE FRAUD DETECTION AND PREVENTION SERIES

Fraud Detection and Prevention
Dishonesty and unethical business practices are common in the business environment. For example, the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners estimates that a typical organization loses about 5% of its revenues each year to occupational fraud. Accordingly, fraud is an ever-present risk to businesses.
As a service to our clients, WNDE will feature a series of articles over the next year on fraud detection and prevention. Noted below are the subjects that we will be featured in our 2017 newsletters:

• Red flags that fraud may be occurring at your business

• Basic controls over wire transfers
