    CPE: 1.5

    Level: Overview

    Recommended Prerequisite: None

    Field of Study: Specialized Knowledge

    Fraud happens in owner-contractor and contractor-subcontractor relationships, and it's committed by employees of any type or size of contracting firm. Last year’s Kroll Annual Global Fraud and Risk Report showed that 70% of construction companies experienced at least one incidence of fraud. There are almost unlimited ways that you can be defrauded in the construction industry, but there are many ways that you can protect yourself from those who want to steal from you and hurt your business.


    This session will discuss how to identify fraud indicators in construction costs, detect material costs that seem inflated compared to market value and review best practices for project controls.

    You Will Learn How To:

    • Identify fraud indicators in construction projects
    • Identify material costs that seem inflated compared to their market value
    • Ascertain best practices on project controls, as well as “trust through verification”
