Protecting your bottom line: combatting invoice fraud & navigating the Contractors Debts Act

1 CPD point / 1 hour

We are pleased to invite you to an upcoming webinar designed to help businesses, finance teams, procurement professionals and project managers better understand their rights and obligations when it comes to invoice fraud and the Contractors Debts Act 1997 (NSW).

With invoice fraud incidents on the rise and increasing scrutiny on payment practices across the construction, government and commercial sectors, knowing how to identify risks early and respond correctly is essential. Likewise, the Contractors Debts Act remains one of the most misunderstood pieces of legislation affecting principals, contractors and subcontractors. A lack of awareness can expose organisations to avoidable financial, legal and reputational risks.

In this practical session, we will cover:

• How invoice fraud typically occurs and the new techniques emerging across industries

• Red flags and internal safeguards every organisation should implement

• How the Contractors Debts Act works in practice, including the rights of subcontractors and the obligations of principals

• Common pitfalls that lead to disputes and liability

• Steps to protect your organisation and ensure robust governance

• Real‑world examples drawn from recent matters and industry trends

You’ll walk away with clear, actionable insights to strengthen your financial controls, procurement processes and contract management practices.
