March is Fraud Prevention Month

40% of Canadian organizations reported that they were victims of fraud in the last two years. This includes asset mis-appropriation, procurement, and cyber fraud, as reported on CanadaAM on March 9, 2016 interview with Lori-Ann Beausoleil, PWC Canada.

"I had the pleasure of working alongside Jean to develop a PIA for my Dental Office. I could not have completed this document without her. She was there to help me every step of the way. Her online course made it easy to communicate with her as well as having so many resources to use that were so helpful. Each Module had videos to watch that explained step by step what needed to be done. The PIA document is a lot of information to put together and if it's not enough information on its own, you also need to develop a policy and procedures manual. Jean has developed an amazing resource for this manual that was very user friendly and made a 300 page manual a lot more attainable than creating it on your own. I highly recommend taking Jean's PIA course and having her help throughout the process!"
