Bank Fraud & Financial Risk Awareness

The CFMA Greater Washington DC Chapter invites you to join us for an in-person luncheon program focused on banking fraud risks and financial exposure impacting construction firms.


Financial fraud continues to evolve rapidly, with criminals using increasingly sophisticated methods to target businesses and financial institutions. Construction companies and financial managers must understand the latest threats and implement strong internal controls to protect their organizations.


Our chapter is pleased to welcome our featured speaker:

He brings practical insight into emerging fraud trends impacting contractors and construction finance teams, along with strategies organizations can implement to strengthen internal controls and reduce financial exposure.
