NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - September 21, 2010) - David Gannaway, MBA, CFE, CAMS, EA, a Director in the Litigation and Corporate Financial Advisory Services Group at Marks Paneth & Shron LLP and a former IRS special agent with the Criminal Investigation Division, has published an article in Financier Worldwide that details the types of fraud businesses need to be on the lookout for, especially in an economic downturn.
According to Mr. Gannaway, the pattern of fraud is different and perhaps more costly in a prolonged downturn. Businesses must be especially vigilant in looking out for signs of fraud -- and know when to conduct thorough investigations.
In the article, Mr. Gannaway addresses:
- Why embezzlement is more common in a prolonged downturn.
- Actions executives should take to deal with potential fraud situations.
- The key components of a fraud risk assessment.
The full text of Mr. Gannaway's article is available for reading in the Marks Paneth & Shron Library.
