Detective Liz Cruthers, White Collar Crime, Portland Police Bureau
Do you know that fraud and embezzlement is on the rise in Portland and that, on average, organizations lose 5% of every dollar to fraud schemes in one form or another? As a leader of your organization (Executive Director, CEO, or Board Member), do you know the opportunity points fraudsters use or detectable fraud indicators? While the chances of fraud occurring in your organization-- externally or employee perpetrated-- may seem unlikely, it does happen and can be devastating to an organization.
Join the Portland Police Bureau and the Nonprofit Association of Oregon for a better understanding of:
- Your rights and responsibilities as a board member or director
- Red flags that should concern you
- Various fraud schemes
- Preventive controls
- What to do if you discover fraud in your organization
