Business Fraud Focus: An essential event!

This is a fraud prevention event that you cannot afford to miss.

It features a 5 member panel of experts who will provide essential insights into the critical importance of fraud prevention in South Africa that will empower companies in their efforts to survive the deluge of corporate fraud and abuse.

Details of the event follow:

72% of companies* in South Africa have fallen prey to economic crime. Is yours next? (*Price Waterhouse Coopers survey, published October 2007)

As economic conditions worsen, companies are reeling as employees turn to crooking the books to meet their financial obligations. Forensic auditors say white collar crime 'which includes fraud, corruption, expense claim manipulation and fiddling with financial statements is on the increase as the economy slumps.'
- Fin24.com, March 1, 2009

In October 2007, Price Waterhouse Coopers published a frightening survey which showed that South Africa has an economic crime level 30% higher than the global average. The results revealed that as many as 72% of companies in South Africa had fallen prey to economic crime in the two years leading up to 2007 - this is a staggering 30% higher than the 42% global average.

Since then, experts predict a sharp growth in fraud and white collar crime - much of it linked to the worsening economic crisis - as many previously above-the-line employees find themselves having to take risks in order to meet their obligations as a result of what many predict could be the worst depression since the the 1930s.

Can you afford to ignore a growing problem that could easily end up crippling your business?

Attend this exclusive event and be exposed to up-to-the-minute insights, case studies, success stories, best practices and action plans from our expert panel.
