2026 Payroll Fraud & Risk Management Webinar

Payroll fraud doesn’t start big — it starts unnoticed

Payroll fraud is one of the most common — and least detected — risks in organizations. Join this practical webinar to learn how payroll fraud happens, how to prevent it, and what to do when it’s suspected, using real cases, Commercial Crimes Court examples, and South African legislation.

In this session, we’ll cover:

• What payroll fraud is (and why it often goes unnoticed)
• The most common payroll fraud schemes
• The Fraud Triangle explained (pressure, opportunity, rationalisation)
• Practical prevention controls and risk management safeguards
• Real payroll fraud cases investigated by Yolande Schoültz
• Commercial Crimes Court examples and what the outcomes teach employers
• The Prevention and Combating of Corrupt Activities Act 12 of 2004 (what it means in practice)
• Legal considerations when fraudulent activity is suspected on the payroll system
• What an Expert Witness is (and when you may need one)
• Live Q&A

Payroll fraud is often discovered too late — make sure your organisation isn’t one of them.

Equip yourself with the knowledge to identify, prevent, and respond effectively.
