Compli and Crowe Horwath Provide Complimentary Webinar "Catch Them If You Can - Guarding Against Fraud at Your Dealership" Now Available Online. | Compli.com

Portland, Ore. (July 7th, 2009) As part of Compli's continuing effort to expand legal and operational protections for auto dealerships nationwide Compli®, in collaboration with Crowe Horwath LLP, hosted "Catch Them If You Can-Guarding Against Fraud At Your Dealership," a complimentary Webinar providing dealerships with the essential actions they can take immediately to analyze and adjust their internal controls in order to mitigate the risk of fraud.
As desperate times can lead to desperate measures Ron Sompels, executive-in-charge of Crowe Horwath's Retail Dealer practice, discussed how current economic conditions, layoffs and remaining overworked employees create a perfect storm for fraud at dealerships. According to Sompels, even trusted employees can be pushed to dishonesty when they find themselves facing financial challenges in their personal lives or feel it can be done without being detected.
Drawing 191 registrants and 114 connections, this event reviewed recent cases of fraud that have resulted in a loss of millions of dollars at dealerships. Sompels pointed out that these are only the detected or publicized fraud cases, and it is likely there are several other instances going on undetected today.
This fraud prevention Webinar concluded by outlining the essential actions dealerships should take to analyze and adjust their internal controls to reduce the risk of fraud and increase the likelihood of detection, which may help avoid potential losses.

For dealerships that may have missed the Webinar, the complimentary "Catch Them If You Can-Guarding Against Fraud At Your Dealership" recording is now available online at: http://www.compli.com/contact/form_webinar_catch_them_if_you_can.php.
