TOPIC: Technological advances have made it easier to perpetrate fraud, and conversely easier to detect fraud. It is often said that the capabilities of a computer are only limited by its user, and much can be said regarding fraud. The manner in which the fraud is perpetrated, while limited to a certain extent, is greatly increased during times of rapid change or technological advances. It is perhaps this reason why we tend to focus on processing, systematic, and technological changes when preparing for financial statement, as well as internal audits, as they oftentimes provide for an unplanned conduit with which to perpetrate a fraud. In this workshop we will talk about how to identify these new ways that fraud is perpetuated.
