Description
The National Fraud Authority estimates the cost of fraud at £40 million per day, whether committed internally by your employees or by individuals external to your organisation, and it can affect you and your business at any time both financially and emotionally.
During economic uncertainty it is a timely reminder that, as times become tough for everyone, the opportunity for fraud is a real concern. Over £40 million is lost every day to fraud in the UK. For every £100 of turnover, businesses are losing £6 through fraud. Did you know that.... 80% of corporate fraud involves the collusion of an employee? Or that 90% of fraudulent employees have been with their employer for over a year and 20% of fraudulent employees have been with their employer for over 10 years?

Mark Liddle of RSM Tenon and Richard Herringshaw of Dorset County Council's Trading Standards Service will take you through:
This free seminar has been designed for owners of small to medium sized companies who wish to become better informed about protection against criminals and their approach to fraud and business professionals looking to advise their clients.
