Join AACE SF on 5/20/21 at 4PM PST for a webinar as we discuss moral turpitude, occupational fraud and the case for business integrity in the construction and real estate sector - presented by industry professionals from EY teams.
Webinar Description: In 2020, the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners estimated that $4.5 trillion is lost to fraud globally each year. Construction is not immune to this dilemma. With corruption and financial statement deception accounting for 72% of construction fraud, the industry is prone to manipulation, improper controls and misreporting.
