ACC Georgia Webinar: Adding Value Through Asset Protection: The Legal Department’s Role

Corporate legal departments are uniquely positioned to transform fraud prevention and asset protection from a defensive exercise into a source of measurable value. This program explores how proactive legal oversight—partnering with finance, compliance, and operations—can uncover, limit, and recover corporate losses before they escalate. Panelists include an assistant general counsel overseeing fraud investigations for a major distributor and a leading forensic accounting expert who helps companies identify, quantify, and recover losses from internal and external fraud. The panel will share practical strategies for structuring investigations and integrating loss-prevention programs into broader corporate recovery initiatives. Viewed properly, loss prevention can become a strategic tool that protects assets, improves resilience, and directly enhances the company’s bottom line.
