“Prepare to explore today’s most common and emerging fraud threats, along with practical strategies we can implement to educate and reduce risk,” Cox said. “This presentation will emphasize how informed employees are a critical line of defense in preventing fraud within an organization, and they can take this information and apply it to their personal lives and certainly share with others.”
