COVID’s Other Headache – FRAUD!

Occupational fraud not only destroys the reputations of professionals and organizations, it can also destroy the financial footing of an organization.

Croixstone Consulting has once again joined forces with The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners to create awareness for fraud as an Official Supporter of International Fraud Awareness Week.

Joining organizations across the globe including Deloitte, Deutsch Bank, EY, FTI Consulting, Grant Thornton, Jeld-Wen, JP Morgan Chase, KPMG, Nestle SA, and PwC, Croixstone is working this week to share best practices on fraud prevention and encourage our clients and partners to proactively remedy weak spots in their current controls.

2020 is an especially important year to create awareness of fraud. Occupational fraud proliferates during recessions and times of economic instability as companies and employees feel increased pressure to meet the challenges of a down economy.

This November It’s About Time

It is considered to be a rare cancer.

And yet, it is the 3rd leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the USA. November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month, and Croixstone has joined forces with the Charlotte Pancreatic Cancer Alliance and the World Pancreatic Cancer Coalition to create awareness for the world’s toughest cancer.

For Croixstone, the mission to create awareness is very personal. Our CEO and co-founder, Patti Weber, lost her father to pancreatic cancer in 2005. 7 years later, our Managing Partner and co-founder, Mark Weber, lost his mother to the same disease.

Since there is no early detection for pancreatic cancer, it is important that you know the symptoms and risks associated with the disease. Please take just a few minutes and click HERE to learn the basics of pancreatic cancer symptoms and risks. Then take time to share your new knowledge with your family and friends.

Your actions could save a life (even your own)!
