Payroll Fraud Prevention: Stop 7 Schemes Before They Reach Your Paychecks

Every payroll cycle depends on trust. Employees expect accurate, on-time pay, while your organization relies on legitimate onboarding records, account changes and access requests across the payroll system.

Payroll fraud can exploit that trust through compromised accounts, direct deposit diversion, ghost employees, timesheet fraud, buddy punching, pay rate alteration and insider misuse. In this webinar, explore seven common payroll schemes that can affect organizations of every size and the practical steps that help stop them before they disrupt your business.

In This Session, You’ll Learn How To:

• Recognize warning signs of direct deposit fraud, ghost employee fraud, social engineering and account takeover

• Identify risks tied to timesheet fraud, buddy punching, commission fraud and expense reimbursement fraud

• Strengthen internal controls with segregation of duties, access controls and multi-factor authentication

• Use payroll reports, payroll registers, bank statements and surprise audits to uncover suspicious activity

• Improve payroll security through stronger verification, background checks and employee awareness

• Protect your payroll department from occupational fraud, asset misappropriation and embezzlement

Strong payroll fraud prevention protects employee confidence, business continuity and your organization’s reputation.
