VHMA Webinar: How to Safeguard Your Hospital Against Theft
VHMA Member Price: $0 and Nonmember Price: $30
Is your hospital vulnerable to theft, fraud, or embezzlement? According to the Report to the Nations on Occupational Fraud and Abuse: 2014 Global Fraud Study, the typical organization loses 5% of revenues each year to fraud and the typical episode from commencement to detection lasted 18 months.
This session will review practice vulnerabilities and common employee-theft warning signs. It will also discuss proper internal controls such as segregation of duties, having business bank statements mailed to the owners home address, and trading check-signing authority for multiple-owner hospitals, to name a few. You will learn how to establish proper internal controls to protect your hospital from being the next victim. Several real life examples will be reviewed that will stress the importance of being proactive no matter how well you think know your employees.
