JANUARY LUNCHEON RECAP
FAR began the new year with a great program on fraud, "You Are A Victim of Fraud - Now What?", focusing on what an organization that has uncovered, or suspects, fraudulent activity should do, from the initial discovery to initiating an investigation and pursuing legal remedies and recovery.
FAR members and guests shared food and conversation with each other before the program.
Leslie Kirsch, CFE,
Manager, Raffa, P.C.
Leslie introduced the speakers and moderated questions at the end of the presentation.
Larry Hoffman, CPA/CFF, CFE, CVA,
Senior Partner, Raffa P.C.
Larry shared information on how to proceed if you suspect fraud within your organization.
David Mills
Partner, Cooley LLP
David gave the legal perspective if you suspect and/or confirm fraud within your organization.
Sue Mairena, CPA, CGMA
COO, American Association of Homecare
Sue shared her first-hand experience as a victim of fraud.
Takeaways from Sue:
1. Purchase employee theft insurance.
2. Have A/P receive invoices, not the individual who orders the item(s).
3. Conduct physical inventory before paying for items.
