Fraud In Focus: The Business Lifecycle of Fraud Risk

Fraud risk can emerge at every level of an organization, including its culture and internal controls, whistleblower activity, and critical business transactions. Join us during International Fraud Awareness Week for a timely discussion exploring how organizations can better recognize, assess, and respond to evolving fraud risks. 

Presented in a series of focused segments, this webinar will examine the role organizational culture plays in predicting, preventing, or enabling fraud; current whistleblower developments and investigative considerations; cyber risk prevention, identification, and remediation; and fraud and compliance risks that may arise throughout the lifecycle of a merger or acquisition. Speakers will share practical insights into the interconnected cultural, technological, regulatory, and transactional factors that influence fraud risk. 

Learning Objectives 

Attendees will gain practical considerations for identifying cultural warning signs, strengthening fraud awareness, improving organizational resilience, addressing risk at key points in the business lifecycle, and responding when transactions lead to disputes. 

Learning Outcomes 

• Explain how organizational culture can help predict, inhibit, or enable fraudulent activity.
• Recognize key whistleblower-related considerations and understand how changes in the legal and regulatory environment may affect organizations.
• Describe fraud, financial crime, compliance, and counterparty risks that may arise before a merger or acquisition.
• Discuss how investigative, financial, and legal due diligence can work together to identify undisclosed risks and potential liabilities.
