Speakers: Iain Sim
Virtual Seminar
Fraud risk is a growing issue for businesses of all sizes, and problems often develop gradually through weak controls, poor oversight or cultural issues within an organisation. By the time concerns come to light, the financial and reputational impact can be significant.
For solicitors, the challenge is spotting the warning signs early and knowing how to respond when issues arise. This session looks at how fraud risk develops in practice and what you can do to help clients reduce exposure and avoid more serious consequences.
Topics covered are as follows:
