Fraud is constantly evolving, and it’s happening more frequently with fraudsters having more resources to commit fraud with than ever before. When fraud hits a small business, the loss is not in just dollars — it’s also the added stress and hassle for everyone in the workplace.

While fraud comes in many different shapes or forms, there are ways that you can take precautions to minimize fraudulent activity. In fact, we believe that fraud prevention is about taking proactive steps to limit your business’ exposure to certain risks.

Our business counsellors are here to help you protect your business by providing you with some small business advice and fraud prevention tools.

Preventing fraud in your small business

Small businesses can be very susceptible to fraud. Every year, entrepreneurs become victim of fraud; fewer people within the business makes it harder to spot the various types of fraud that may be targeting them. It is estimated that fraud is costing small businesses millions of dollars annually.

During this webinar, participants will learn about the types of fraud specifically targeting small businesses (credit card, directory, health and safety, etc.), what to do when you see fraud and what steps to take if you are a victim of fraud.
