Overview

Fraud has become a way of life in our society. It is as commonplace as sand on a beach.  We often hear the experts say “it’s not a matter of “if,” but “when.”  We can all be a victim of fraud…at your company, identity theft or cyber fraud.  This session will focus on how a fraud can occur, why it occurs and the best practices to prevent it from happening in your company or personally.

Marcum LLP is proud to offer the Education with a Bite Series as a free event and all attendees will receive CPE and CE credits.

Join us for breakfast and start your workday learning about an array of topics from some of the most qualified and educated speakers. Breakfast will be served at 7:00 AM and the presentation will begin at 7:30 AM and run anywhere until 8:30 or 9:00 AM.

We always look forward to seeing new faces, so please feel free to spread the word to those business advisors and clients that you feel would benefit from this event.
