10/21/10 – MIAA Fall Workshop

Municipal Internal Auditors Association (M.I.A.A.)

October 21-22, 2010, Niagara Falls, Ontario

Edward Nagel will be speaking on the following topic:

“Beating the fraudster at Their Own Game: Prevention, Detection and Investigation”

How—and how quickly an organization responds to fraud, will drive the extent of damage that could result from a financial crime event—be it financial, reputational or otherwise. The high profile frauds of the past decade have given rise to significant changes in terms of the expectations that auditors must consider fraud as part of their audit; this includes recent guidance issued by the IIA.

Knowing what is fraud and what are the indicators or “red flags” to look out for is critical in managing this assumed risk within any organization. Citing real-life cases, this session will provide first-hand experience from various investigations conducted, the key challenges faced and what steps were taken to make the investigations successful. This session will also address the basic principles of investigations, current trends in risk management and the critical role that internal audit can have in an investigation.
