A significant number of companies across a variety of industries make use of manually driven spreadsheet management systems which are highly susceptible to error or deliberate manipulation. Spreadsheets have also recently come under scrutiny from the PCAOB and FINRA as an area of concern and one where additional review should take place during an audit.
There are five primary areas of fraud tied to spreadsheet management:
- Presentation Fraud
- Data Fraud
- Incremental Fraud
- Burial Fraud
- Function Fraud
This session will review these areas of vulnerability and what companies can do to reduce their risk. |
