Assessing Misappropriation Risk Through Forensic Accounting

Presenters: Rachel Young, CPA, CFE and Tabitha Balderas, CPCU

Sept. 17, at 11 a.m. ET

Misappropriation risk is often covered in insurance policies under employee dishonesty or crime coverage. Have you ever wondered:
How likely is it that this insured will suffer a misappropriation loss? 
What questions can we ask to assess that risk? 
Why does this matter to an insurance professional?

Join us for a webinar that will cover the forensic accountant’s perspective on these very questions. Attendees will learn to determine whether a given business is more or less likely than another to experience this type of loss. Additionally, attendees will:
Understand what internal controls are and how they relate to risk assessment
Learn techniques for evaluating a prospective insured’s accounting internal control structure in the context of employee dishonesty coverage
Learn how to evaluate answers to internal control risk assessment questions to determine if an insured’s operations are more or less risky for employee dishonesty losses than another
