Seminars and Training : ARA Fraud & Forensic Services

Fraud Prevention Starts with Educating the Entire Organization

Training is instrumental to minimizing the opportunity for fraud to occur. Educating CEO’s all the way down to line level employees is at the core of everything we do. Preventing employee theft and fraud starts with instilling a heightened sense of awareness throughout the organization. In the absence of training and creating that awareness, fraud schemes can go undetected on for long periods of time thus costing companies significant financial loses. Statistics show that by training employees you reduce the time to detect fraud and fraud losses by 50%.
