On May 24, 2011, news agencies reported cases of fraud rose to an all-time high in the first quarter of the year. So in early June, at IMA's Annual Conference, I attended the education session, "Recent Financial Frauds and How to Avoid Them." Within this session, speakers reviewed various small and large fraudulent business cases along with the accounting controls that should be used to avoid them. All of the control measures presented were a helpful reminder to accounting and financial professionals.
