Thank you to the Council of Michigan Foundations for the opportunity to share fraud-fighting best practices with the foundation community. The session offered many tips on how foundations can collaborate with their partner and awardee organizations to collectively prevent fraud. To avoid a commercial-like presentation, we shared some of our “secret sauce,” including many do-it-yourself tips and tricks, and even our engagement letter template and tasks, so attendees had a roadmap to perform these tasks themselves rather than needing to hire a third party like us. For those who need to hire a third party for fraud prevention services, we shared best practices and tips on managing that relationship, including the dos and don’ts we’ve learned (some the hard way) from performing this type of engagement with several organizations. Do you work for a foundation or municipality responsible for awarding funds but lack internal resources to help your partners? We have multiple relationships with foundations and governmental organizations that provide additional funding to their nonprofit partners specifically to hire us to enhance their fraud prevention toolkits and reduce fraud risk. This is a win-win scenario, as neither organization wants to end up in the headlines due to embezzlement, but often both lack the expertise or personnel to proactively address it.

It's hard to believe that already 10 years have passed since we approved the IPSASB Conceptual Framework in the very same place, the #Berlaymont building of #EuropeanCommission. I emphasized that the Conceptual Framework has been used more strongly than ever expected, both by preparers of financial statements and standard setters around the globe. #IPSAS #SMLZHAW #PMM #IPSASB
