Fraud, Management Override and Regulatory Issues - Controls that All Credit Unions Need to Have

Jerry Tenbrink, Owner, J. Tenbrink & Associates

PART I – You can have the best system of internal control, a diligent internal auditor, a crack supervisory committee and still have a huge hole in your financial reporting and internal control systems. Why? Because key high-level parties in your organization have the ability to control some if not all of your accounting, financial reporting and regulatory compliance processes.

How can you control this exposure to ensure that the financial information guiding your decisions is reliable? There may not be a silver bullet, but there are key points you can focus on to stay on top of these elusive areas. Jerry will assist you in determining your key exposure points & how to control them.

Deron Rossi, President, DJR Consulting (Replacing Mick Fenley's ATM Fraud session. Mick Fenley is unable to attend)

Despite all the new technologies introduced, there is one constant, and it is Fraud!
