Plus Pre Conference Workshop: Building the Business Case for Fraud Deterrence

This special half-day workshop, showcasing the first in a series of fraud scenarios developed by the Center for Audit Quality, will look at the “hows and whys” of a hypothetical instance of financial statement fraud.  Through a Harvard Business School case study format, the executive workshop will feature an interactive discussion of a fictitious firm and an apparent incident of financial reporting fraud that had just been discovered there.
 
Lead by Karthik Ramanna, Associate Professor of Business Administration from the Harvard Business School, the program will explore the roles and responsibilities of the various parties in the financial reporting supply chain; and examine the environmental and internal control characteristics involved, techniques for detecting financial statement fraud; and the evidence to support an allegation of fraud.
