Fraud is a booming business today. With fraud schemes becoming more sophisticated and defense attorneys more proactive, there is a need for more interaction among auditors, investigators and prosecutors. Often, task forces are assembled for this purpose. Learn how each team member contributes to the success of such joint efforts and learn the special rules and procedures that apply in obtaining evidence to substantiate and prosecute fraud. Auditors learn the pitfalls to avoid in pursuing fraud on their own and how to discern whether a potential fraud scheme they have identified in an ongoing audit may be prosecutable.
