Don’t let the potential for FRAUD keep you up at night
Come and Learn about nonprofit internal controls and fraud basics

Internal control issues have been at the forefront of the public’s attention in recent years. Failures in internal controls have led to financial statement fraud, misappropriation of assets, and intentional misuse of grant funds.

We will discuss internal control and what unique fraudulent activities are perpetrated in these organizations and what makes nonprofit organizations vulnerable to fraud.

This course is most beneficial to professionals new to internal control and fraud detection who may be staff or entry level but also for experienced professionals with limited exposure to these topics.
