Protect the Mission: Strong Controls, Smart Oversight, and Fraud Prevention

Overview

Rescue squads exist to protect their communities, but protecting the organization itself is just as important. In this joint session, representatives from the Department of Local Government Audit and Division of Investigations will explore how strong internal controls help safeguard public funds, protect employees and volunteers, and preserve the trust of the communities rescue squads serve. Using practical guidance and real-world fraud examples, the session will highlight common control weaknesses, fraud warning signs, and straightforward steps rescue squad leaders can take to reduce risk and strengthen accountability.
