Fraud Prevention In An Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) Environment

Common practices, challenges to execution and lessons learned will be described to create a successful fraud prevention environment. The ERM model differs from the traditional audit model because it assists the organization in achieving its business objectives by systematically identifying and evaluating significant exposures to risk, developing solutions to key risks, and contributing to the overall improvement of risk management, business processes, internal controls and governance in the enterprise.
