Occupational Fraud: Warning Signs, Prevention & Detection

Occupational fraud can affect organizations of any size and may involve employees who understand where controls are weak or can be overridden. In this episode of PYA's The Bottom Line, Jessica Scouten and Michelle Smith explain the fraud triangle, common forms of occupational fraud, behavioral and organizational red flags, and practical controls that can help reduce risk.

The discussion includes three case studies, the role of reporting channels and forensic accountants, and emerging artificial-intelligence risks. The presenters also explain how AI can support fraud detection while still requiring human evaluation of facts, documentation, and business context.

Webinar presented September 24, 2026. AI-related fraud risks and detection methods discussed in the session may continue to evolve.
