Fraud Awareness | December 1

Tuesday, December 1, 2020 - 1:30 - 2:30 p.m.

Location:

Online via Zoom; Connection information provided with confirmation of registration.

Facilitated by:

Cindy Sanford, Director of Investigations, CSU
Sharon Best, Manager of Investigations, CSU

Description:

Presented by CSU Audit and Advisory Services, this Fraud Awareness presentation is based on insights and common findings from investigations throughout the CSU system where individuals who review or approve various types of expenditures (e.g., travel and hospitality reimbursements or procurement card payments) may not have known what to look for or understood their role or responsibilities in the process.

With years of experience conducting investigations and audits throughout the CSU system and at external sate agencies, the presenters use actual (but redacted) documentation that was submitted for payment and provides examples of things reviewers and approvers can look for, even when they don’t have a lot of time. The presenters also provide guidance on how to prevent and detect fraud.
