2026 Payroll Fraud and Risk Management Webinar Sage South Africa

Hi Community, 

This two-hour session draws on real payroll fraud cases, Commercial Crimes Court outcomes, and South African legislation to give you a grounded, practical understanding of the risks — and what to do about them.

What You Will Learn

This webinar covers the areas that matter most to anyone responsible for payroll integrity:

  • What payroll fraud is, and why it so often goes unnoticed
  • The most common payroll fraud schemes in practice
  • The Fraud Triangle explained — pressure, opportunity, and rationalisation
  • Practical prevention controls and risk management safeguards
  • Real payroll fraud cases investigated, including Commercial Crimes Court examples and what the outcomes teach employers
  • The Prevention and Combating of Corrupt Activities Act 12 of 2004, and 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 session

Date: 31 July  2026

Time: 09h00 – 11h00 

Price: R1 195 (excl. VAT) per person

Why This Matters

Payroll fraud does not always look the way we expect it to. It can be carried out by trusted employees, go undetected for years, and cost organisations far more than money. Understanding the mechanics — and the legal framework around it — is the first step toward building a more resilient organisation. This webinar gives you the practical tools to do exactly that.

Be bold. Be ready. Be the practice your clients can't imagine working without — but don't wait! Seats are limited
