Fraud Detection and Prevention Round Table



Join Us: All the Queen’s Horses – A Powerful Conversation on Fraud & Accountability

Join us for a special community screening of All the Queen’s Horses, an eye-opening documentary that examines one of the largest municipal embezzlement cases in U.S. history. This compelling film tells the true story of a trusted public official who embezzled millions of dollars over two decades—revealing how gaps in oversight and internal controls can lead to devastating consequences.

Following the viewing, we will host an interactive discussion focused on fraud awareness, internal controls, and compliance practices. Together we will explore:

Key warning signs and red flags of financial fraud
The importance of strong internal controls and oversight
How organizations can strengthen compliance, transparency, and accountability
Practical strategies leaders and staff can use to protect their organizations

This event is designed for nonprofit leaders, finance professionals, board members, compliance officers, and community stakeholders who want to deepen their understanding of fraud prevention and strengthen organizational integrity.

Come engage in a meaningful conversation about ethical leadership, financial stewardship, and safeguarding the resources entrusted to our organizations and communities.

We look forward to learning and reflecting together.

Anyone have military clients or family members?

The IRS says the December 2025 $1,776 payment was treated as a supplemental housing allowance, not taxable income. That’s consistent with tax rules that exclude military allowances from gross income.
