Accounts Payable Conferences & Seminars
e-Learning: Payment Fraud
Detection and Prevention
A four-part online series of seminars designed to provide the most current information needed to fight fraud
Payment fraud doesn’t discriminate. It eats into the profitability of any organization that doesn’t take the proper steps to protect itself. The problem is exacerbated by the sophisticated crooks now taking aim at the accounts payable function. They know where access to the money lies and they’re going after it. No one can afford to be complacent. That’s why we’ve created this e-Learning session to help those who deal with all facets of the payment process gain the information they need to protect their organizations.
This seminar is produced by CRYSTALLUS, Inc., the publisher of the Accounts Payable Now & Tomorrow newsletter, in partnership with the International Accounts Payable Professionals (IAPP) Association. Each registered participant will earn nine IAPP and/or NASBA CPEs.
