VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - September 15, 2016) -

SYSPRO, a provider of award-winning, best-of-breed Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software solution for on-premise and cloud-based utilization, today announced that it will be conducting a complimentary, live webinar for Canadian manufacturing leaders, "Protect Your Bottom Line: Fraud Detection and Prevention in Manufacturing" on Thursday, September 22, 2016 at 10:00 A.M. PT / 1:00 P.M. ET.

The exclusive webinar will feature leading industry experts Shane Troyer, Partner-Advisory Services for Grant Thornton, and David Doyle, Vice President of Sales for SYSPRO Canada, who will share their deep industry insights into ways to assess how, when and where manufacturing organizations are at risk for fraud-and what business leaders can do to mitigate the risk. This session will be hosted by CanadianManufacturing.com, a national media brand and top source of daily manufacturing industry-focused news in Canada.

Fraud is a serious problem affecting the manufacturing industry. The manufacturing sector is one of the industry sectors most vulnerable to asset misappropriation and fraud. When it comes to instances of fraud, not only are manufacturers at risk for revenue loss-their reputation can also be jeopardized.

Manufacturing environments present unique opportunities for employees, contractors, vendors, and cyber hackers alike, to take advantage of unsuspecting companies. Moreover, there is often a lack of management understanding of the risks associated with fraud, and the necessary internal systems and controls (including people, process, and technology) that are required to stop fraudsters in their tracks. Gaps in automated systems, processes, and lack of procedures put manufacturers at a higher risk to individuals who are willing to commit fraudulent activities, waste valuable resources, and abuse their authority.

The cost of reputational damage and lost revenue (often in the hundreds of thousands of dollars) can result in detrimental consequences to any manufacturing business. Recognizing where manufacturing businesses may be at risk for possible fraudulent activity is a crucial part of the risk management process. In the end, the risk of doing nothing can cost you more.

How do you know if you are at risk from employees or vendors trying to exploit your business?

Register today for this informative session, designed specifically for Canadian manufacturing leaders, and learn how to be proactive in detecting and preventing fraudulent activities, including:

  • A framework to identify which business areas are most at risk
  • Common "red flags" or indicators that reveal fraud
  • Recommended internal controls (including people, process and technology) to protect against fraud

"Instances of fraud have always existed in manufacturing environments. The 10-80-10 rule of fraud states 10 percent of people are honest and will not steal under any circumstances, even if guaranteed to not get caught; 10 percent of people will steal no matter what or will actively look for opportunities to steal; and the remaining 80 percent of people will steal if the opportunity arises and they can rationalize the act, especially if the opportunity is as a result of an organic error they made because of a lack of controls in their business environments," according to David Doyle, VP of Sales for SYSPRO Canada. "Recognizing where your business may be vulnerable for fraud and understanding the control mechanisms you can easily put into place to prevent employees, partners or vendors from exploiting your business, can go a long way in helping to protect your bottom line."
