Internal Control and Fraud Prevention
Rationale of the Seminar
Internal controls help an organization achieve its goals. It is a critical component of managing an organization and a foundation for its safe and sound operations. An effective internal control system helps an entity promote orderly, economical, efficient, and effective operations. It seeks to safeguard the resources and maintain reliable financial and management data. It enables compliance with laws and regulations and helps in mitigating the risk of unexpected losses or damage to the organization and its reputation.
Implementing internal controls is an effective way to reduce company’s exposure to fraud risk. This will help limit the opportunities for employees to commit fraud. Since fraud comes in various forms, internal controls have the inherent nature to prevent fraud even before it occurs.
This seminar provides a wholistic framework in understanding internal controls. In addition, it links internal controls with the overall management of fraud, primarily on how to prevent its occurrence. This is useful for business owners, top management, board of directors, officers, and employees in different units or divisions of an organization.
