Fraud is on the rise and its affects can destroy a business. A report by KPMG last year showed that the cost of fraudulent activity against public and private sector organisations increased by a third in the first six months of 2011 on the same period in 2010. It is just a prevalent in large firms as in smaller firms but the consequences on a small firm can be fatal. Fraud is an internal as well as external threat but there are checks and processes that can be put in place to minimise the risks. 

IoD Sussex is extremely privileged to have CIFAS Board Director, David Springer, leading this session and talking through what you can do to protect yourself. CIFAS is a not for profit membership organisation dedicated to fraud prevention and the UK's leading authority on the subject.
