TOPIC:

“Real World Ways to Reduce the Fraud Risk Associated with Third Party Vendors”.

This custom design all day course for the Chapter will present techniques for vendor management validation which focuses on assessing the risk of working with vendors, vendor master file exposures, and how to use a creative technique to verify and perform vendor management validation on an ongoing basis. This course has been designed to get participants actively involved in the discussion and create ways to reduce the fraud risk associated with third party vendors. The discussion will include honest assessment questions, risk discussions, and how to ensure each group recognizes the corresponding exposures and how to become more effective at reducing them. Also, participants will be able to practice developing fraud detection programs.
