Protect Yourself From Fraud: Chester County Offering Course

As scams of various kinds work their way across Chester County, it's never a bad idea to be prepared.

The Chester County Controller’s Office is offering a free evening presentation on how non-profit groups can protect themselves from fraudulent activity.

Representatives of community groups – those interested in learning why and how thefts can occur within local school clubs, youth sports teams, scout troops, churches, fire companies and other community organizations – are encouraged to attend, the office said.

The presentation includes measures that can be taken to prevent thefts, and a Q&A session will follow the presentation, according to the office.

The first class is scheduled for Tuesday, August 23, 2016 from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Chester County Public Safety Training facility located at 137 Modena Road, South Coatesville.

The County’s Internal Audit Manager, Sharon Jones, CIA will present the information and she will be joined by County Controller, Norman MacQueen and Deputy Controller, Carol Pollitz.

The class is free and open to the public. To register attendance, please contact controllerinfo@chesco.org or call 610-344-6155.
