Join us for this Knowledge Group Online CLE Accounting Fraud Webinar. Although accounting enforcement cases at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) decreased in 2018, companies should not keep their guards down. The drop in the number of cases doesn’t mean that enforcement has weakened. Budgets, timing, and prioritizing more important cases over smaller ones, could be factors. The recent cases brought by the SEC imply its continued focus on accounting fraud, with heightened enforcement on individual accountability. Areas of focus include overstated assets, misrepresented key metrics, and misleading disclosures.

Companies must keep themselves updated with the emerging trends and developments to be able to devise effective compliance strategies and, thus, avoid fines and lawsuits in 2019.

Listen as a panel of distinguished professionals organized by The Knowledge Group provide the audience with an in-depth analysis of the latest and emerging issues in accounting fraud & SEC investigations.
