Steering Clear of Fraud (Track A & F)
It seems like fraud is popping up everywhere these days; in truth, it is. The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners estimates that the average U.S. business loses 5% of its gross revenue to employee fraud and abuse; that comes to about $9 per day, per employee. In addition to the immediate financial loss, the collateral damage to stock price, reputation and employee morale can be devastating. “Steering Clear of Fraud” is illustrated with magic and some fascinating stories about actual frauds.
