Reducing corporate fraud risk: European perspectives

Watch the recording of this webinar:

Trust is hard won, and easily lost. When a company fails because of fraud, it damages stakeholder trust in financial reporting and audit quality. Reputational damage can spread far and wide. While many players in the financial reporting ecosystem directly and indirectly impact the likelihood that fraud will be prevented or detected, the public perceives that auditors can and should be doing more.

As the EU reflects on potential measures to improve the overall corporate reporting ecosystem, join Accountancy Europe and the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) for a timely exchange on what is being done and what more can be done to better deter and detect corporate fraud.

Our discussion will seek to shed light on the scope, scale and significance of the transition that is happening across the audit profession to increase the rigour of work around fraud, as well as considering the role of executive and non-executive directors. The webinar will also explore the potential for other policy measures to facilitate better fraud deterrence and detection.
