Description:

Benford's Law has been called the "fraud fingerprint." Just as the whorls and ridges of a fingerprint can help identify an individual, the digit patterns revealed through Benford's Law can help identify a variety of issues and schemes. This session will focus on visual analysis, using case studies from multiple scenarios to demonstrate how to read Benford's Law graphs and identify signatures of avoiding limits, improper rounding, estimated figures, duplication, and more. Attendees will leave with a practical understanding of how to recognize these patterns at a glance and determine appropriate follow-up steps.

Register today to reserve your spot for this virtual Lunch-n-Learn session.
