AGENDA
This webinar presented by Deloitte, will consider how businesses can minimise the risks of fraud and financial misconduct in the wake of COVID-19 with particular focus on accounting irregularities and financial mis-statement. Many businesses have recently prioritised addressing the immediate operational challenges bought by the rapid implementation of remote working, restrictions on travel, serious financial implications affecting revenue and liquidity, resource constraints resulting from sickness / financial pressure, and implications for supply chain and demand for products.
However, these challenges also bring with them a raft of potential fraud and misconduct related risks particularly in relation to accounting processes and financial statements. In this webinar we will look at the new risk environment and explore how business can maintain strong financial corporate controls and accounting procedures to mitigate the risks of fraud or fraud-related enforcement activity associated with COVID-19. We also consider how advanced digital technology tools can enable companies to proactively detect and investigate potential issues before they escalate.
This webinar will be hosted by a team of investigation, controls and technology specialists from Deloitte’s Forensic and Assurance teams. A Q&A session will follow, providing an excellent opportunity for you to ask the team of experts about any specific issues you may be facing and share your experiences with peers.
