YHFF ™ MASTERCLASS Employee fraud and the HR Perspective
Thursday 24 September 2020
Please note that due to Coronavirus restrictions, this Masterclass will be delivered online. Joining instructions will be circulated in due course.
We are delighted to welcome Rebecca Kitson of Addleshaw Goddard LLP and Martyn Potter of Martyn Potter HR Solutions to the September Masterclass hosted by YHFF.
The discovery of employee fraud within any organisation often leads to a difficult time for the leaders in that organisation. Loss of trust, blame, potential business failure/damage, management time, costs of investigation are just some of the immediate concerns.
In addition there are the human resources elements that inevitably arise – ensuring that those involved in the fraud are treated correctly from a legal perspective considering terminations of employment and the risk of employment tribunals. There will be recovery aspects, the involvement of law enforcement, and dealing with the damage.
In this Masterclass we will discuss the support that HR provides from within the business, both in respect of preventative measures against fraud, and also upon discovering a fraud. We will be demystifying employment law in respect to preventing and investigating fraud and we will also hear about how to avoid the pitfalls within an investigation and hopefully how to ultimately avoid lengthy tribunals.
