Government Fraud & Abuse: How Reporters Find It Before Auditors Webinar

*Qualifies for Yellow Book CPE credit* “Newspaper Materiality”….. It’s not pretty when the media splashes a fraud on the front page that CPAs missed. Sallah is a Pulitzer Prize winning investigative reporter for the Miami Herald. He will provide a detailed analysis of major financial fraud and abuse cases and show you how and why something ‘immaterial’ often leads to finding material fraud. This event may be a rebroadcast of a live event and the instructor will be available to answer your questions during the event.
Highlights

• David Mobley, the Florida hedge fund manager who fleeced investors of $75 million
