Mark your calendars for a special lunch program from Women Entrepreneurs of Oregon and Ironstone Bank.  Entrepreneurs and professionals from around the Portland metro area are invited to join us for lunch, networking, and a special talk on fraud prevention. 

The typical company in the United States loses 7 percent of gross revenue to fraud and abuse every year.  Unfortunately, company employees and managers commit the majority of fraud. Attorney and Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) Katherine Heekin provides practical solutions for protecting your company's assets and reputation from fraud.  She uses examples from the headlines of local, state, and national news to illustrate the risks, the fraud triangle, and a typical fraudster's profile.
