Reducing Opportunities for Fraud
A Complimentary Seminar for Accounting Departments with One to Five People
It’s human nature to think that fraud is something that happens at someone else’s organization. You trust your employees, they’ve worked hard for you for years, and perhaps you’ve convinced yourself they’d never steal from you. Complacency sets in. Yet two facts are hard to ignore: Fraud typically costs companies anywhere from $10,000 to $500,000, and 65 percent of victim companies recover 25 percent or less of their stolen funds.
Join Moss Adams LLP as we examine the nature of fraud and theft in the workplace and the steps you can take to both detect and prevent it. We’ll also cover damage control and recommendations for what to do if fraud does strike your company.
CPE credit available upon request
RSVP by September 10th - email eugene@mossadams.com

Rail Now!
Salem Conference Center
"Rail Now!" will explore improving passenger and freight rail between Eugene and Portland within five years, and continue the national conversation about the benefits of investing in America's passenger rail.
"Rail Now!" will bring together a variety of experts to talk about what is needed to improve and increase the number of passenger trains serving the Willamette Valley.
We will explore the economic and environmental benefits of investing in both passenger and freight rail, look at what is happening in other parts of the country, and understand how Oregon can pursue a conventional 21st Century Rail Transportation System now.
Our goal: September will resonate with "Rail Now!" conversations and rail ideas, encouraging new thinking with practical, achievable solutions to implement immediately in 2011.
Registration starts in August
