DAYTON, Ohio, April 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Each year, U.S.
companies lose more than $660 billion to fraud, with counterfeiting
and document fraud making up a large portion of that amount,
according to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners. Standard
Register (NYSE:SR), in its continued commitment to help businesses
combat fraud, is in its 14th year of hosting fraud-prevention
workshops to educate business professionals on how to help protect
their companies from becoming victims of fraud. Standard Register's
free, half-day workshops are led by the foremost authority on
fraud, Frank W. Abagnale, whose youthful exploits as a forger and
imposter were depicted in the motion picture "Catch Me If You Can."
This master thief turned security consultant and author of "The Art
of the Steal," has lectured to and consulted with hundreds of
financial institutions, corporations and government agencies around
the world. In addition to Abagnale's expertise, Standard Register
benefits from the knowledge of in-house expert and manager of
document security, Dan Thaxton, who sits on the Document Security
Alliance (DSA) Board of Directors. Representing Standard Register,
Dan has participated in the development of national security
recommendations for birth certificates, and he is currently leading
a DSA team developing national security recommendations for the
next generation of the U.S. Social Security Number card.
"Continuous advancements in digital technology enable anyone to
recreate authentic-looking documents," said Thaxton. "Document
fraud involves more than just checks and government documents. It
includes things you may not expect, like gift certificates, product
packaging, rebate coupons, diplomas, transcripts, and medical
prescriptions," he added. Standard Register's workshops cover all
aspects of fraud -- the methods and technologies used by forgers,
the liabilities associated with fraud, and the latest deterrents
and advanced security techniques. Thaxton emphasizes that the
workshops offer practical information for reducing losses related
to fraudulent documents, checks, labels, tickets and plastic cards.
He reports that several participant companies have reduced their
incidence of fraud by applying Abagnale's recommendations. Standard
Register has earned a reputation in the financial services industry
with its innovative secure-document technologies, which include
heat- sensitive (thermochromic) and tamper-resistant inks,
copy-preventive paper, micro-printing, hidden watermarks and
holograms. The company also provides secure printing systems,
encoders and scanners, document outsourcing services, and security
audits and other consulting services. The second of Standard
Register's four fraud prevention workshops in 2006 will be held
April 20 in Chicago, Illinois. Business professionals can learn
