Whether in the private or public sector, businesses must be
vigilant regarding their risk management in order to minimize losses.
In many cases, what has been identified as a risk factor within the business, is often identified as "the doorway" to fraudulent activity for the fraud artist. That is why one can define Fraud in many regards as a failure in risk management.
What is the role of legal counsel in recognizing the existence of risk factors? What is the role of counsel in recommending preventative measures against these risks? If we understand the mechanics of fraudulent activities, legal counsel will be in a better position to identify potential risk factors and make recommendations regarding prevention and, if necessary, implement corrective solutions.
In this 1 day lecture, Michel Picard, a reknown specialist on issues of economic crimes who has given conferences in Canada, Europe and Africa , will address the topic of economic crimes, how they occur and how they can be prevented. The course will provide participants with a complete overview of what can happen when management is not paying attention.
