The construction industry has been identified as extremely vulnerable to dishonest and fraudulent activity.
Globally, political payoffs have been funded through construction projects. In North America, revelations of pay to play, intentional overcharge, and billing for work not done have been costly and embarrassing for construction project owners, particularly when cases have been mishandled. Auditors and management have important roles in discouraging and detecting construction-related fraud.
This webinar will explore construction fraud and provide practical approaches for detection and prevention. Participants will learn:
- How fraud impacts construction projects
- Dangers related to construction fraud and how to overcome them
- How to encourage vigilance to minimize fraud
- Common fraud in construction projects
- An approach to detecting fraud for management & auditors
- Why fraud goes undetected
- Insights into detecting and proving kickbacks
- Impact of gifts and entertainment
