Welcome Dawn Myers with Myers Forensic AND Philip Parisot with Lucidity Tax! Get ready for a jammed pack lunch about occupational fraud and taxes!
MYERS FORENSIC, DAWN MYERS, CPA, CFE
No business is immune to fraud—and the cost can be more than financial. At our June Chamber Luncheon, we’ll take a clear-eyed look at occupational fraud, the kind committed by employees or others in a position of trust.
Dawn Myers, CPA and Certified Fraud Examiner with more than 25 years of experience, will lead the conversation. As owner of Myers Forensic Accounting Services, Dawn has worked with organizations across sectors to uncover fraud schemes, assess internal controls, and reduce risk. She’ll share real-world examples, drawing from both national trends and cases here in Mason County, along with practical steps businesses can take to protect themselves.
We’ll explore common schemes like payroll fraud, vendor overbilling, and misuse of company assets, as well as warning signs and risk factors to watch for. You’ll leave with a better understanding of how fraud happens, why it often goes undetected, and what you can do to safeguard your business.
As a catalyst for business growth, the Chamber connects members with timely, practical information to help protect and strengthen their operations. This program is designed to equip you with the kind of insight that helps your organization thrive.
