Using Data as a Defense: Proactively Detecting & Preventing Fraud

Fraud in the construction industry frequently hides in plain view, taking shape through inflated costs, improper billing and undisclosed financial arrangements. This session is tailored for financial and legal professionals who support construction clients and want to strengthen their understanding of how fraud develops and how it can be identified.

Participants will learn about common fraud schemes, spot critical warning signs and examine how forensic analysis and legal strategy work together when fraud is suspected or under investigation.
