Why Should You Attend:

In 75.6% of expense reimbursement schemes, the perpetrator was also undertaking at least one other form of occupational fraud. This startling fact comes from the Report to the Nations, one of the most respected fraud surveys conducted by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners. Creativity when preparing a travel and expense reimbursement request is not a desirable approach. Yet, from the numerous stories shared with the speaker by AP Now's readers, that is precisely what is going on in many, many organizations.

This session will start with a brief review of IRS requirements regarding documentation (receipt) of travel and entertainment expenses. We'll then share the results of a recent study on what companies are requiring as far as receipts. The remainder of the session will focus on the different games some employees play when attempting to get reimbursed for more than they actually spent along with tactics you can use to stop this problematic behaviour.

Areas Covered in the Webinar:

How to Identify common expense reimbursement frauds some employees employ
What and how to Implement strong controls to deter expense reimbursement fraud
How to Integrate IRS requirements into your organization's T&E policy
Create a tight T&E policy that will prevent misconceptions about your T&E policy
