NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - January 18, 2011) - David Gannaway, MBA, CFE, CAMS, EA, a Director in the Litigation and Corporate Financial Advisory Services Group at Marks Paneth & Shron LLP and a former IRS special agent with the Criminal Investigation Division, participated in a panel discussion on mitigating corporate fraud published in a recent issue of Financier Worldwide.
According to Mr. Gannaway, the pattern of fraud is different in a prolonged downturn, and it is especially costly. For instance, a company's intellectual property and confidential financial information are at greater risk. An untrustworthy employee might try to leverage these aspects of a company for personal gain.
In the article, Mr. Gannaway addresses:
- The extent to which fraud increases in a downturn.
- Recent legal and regulatory developments on corporate fraud.
- Steps a company should take to evaluate and resolve a potential case of fraud.
- How regulators around the world have enhanced their monitoring and enforcement activities.
- Steps companies should take in response to investigations and being targeted in "dawn raids."
- Conducting a proper background check of employees and other parties.
The full text of Mr. Gannaway's article is available for reading in the Marks Paneth & Shron Library.
