    Decoding Fraud Risk: Bridging the Communication Gap

    Presenter: Katherine Robinson, CFE, CAMS, GRCP

    Session Synopsis

    In this session, we will discuss the challenge of conveying the importance and potential impact of fraud prevention to senior leaders and managers across different business segments. Often, the issue is not a lack of interest, but how the message is communicated. Managers in other areas of the organization focus on their own unique risks, making it difficult for them to see fraud prevention as a priority.

    We will explore the intersection of fraud risk with other enterprise risks, as well as learn how to align your fraud prevention efforts to the broader performance and risk management strategies of other business areas.
