What would you do if you found major fraud on your watch as a nonprofit leader? Terry Rich, a 25-year CEO, will share more about his experience as the Iowa Lottery President & CEO during one of the biggest lottery frauds in U.S. history. His reflections and lessons learned will help you consider strategies and leadership approaches that can be applied to ultimately implement your mission and preserve your organization’s reputation should trouble arise.

Although only 9% of nonprofits are victims of fraud, the median loss of $75,000 a year could be a costly distraction to the necessary work of your organization. In addition, many instances of fraud go unreported due to reputational risks, negative assumptions, and more.

Participants will learn:

• Facts about who finds internal fraud in smaller organizations
• The importance of proper compliance and internal fraud procedures
• The importance of establishing a “crisis” plan with assigned duties in the event of internal fraud
• Why you should appreciate and say “thanks” to those who provide oversight to your organization.

This 90-minute, in-person session will take place at the Harkin Institute, 2800 University Avenue, Des Moines, IA.
