Webcast: Surgent's Government and Nonprofit Frauds and Controls to Stop Them

Overview

George Washington once wrote, “We ought not to look back, unless it is to derive useful lessons from past errors and for the purpose of profiting by dear bought experience.” The cost of fraud, dearly paid by governments and nonprofits, is too severe not to learn and profit from.
