Fraud Prevention - What Should Your Board be Asking? (Webinar)
Who is it for and what is it about?
Housing associations face increasingly complex fraud risks, from procurement fraud and conflicts of interest to sophisticated cyber scams and business email compromise.
While management are responsible for implementing controls, Boards play a key role in overseeing fraud risk, setting the tone from the top and ensuring appropriate prevention measures are in place.
Recent legislation, including the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act (ECCTA) and the Corporate Criminal Offence (CCO), has reinforced expectations for organisational accountability. The focus is now on demonstrating that reasonable, proportionate steps have been taken to prevent fraud through effective governance, strong controls and ongoing oversight.
This webinar is designed for those with governance, leadership, risk management and assurance responsibilities within Registered Social Landlords (RSLs).
