BUFFALO, NY – Dennis C. Vacco, a partner at Lippes Mathias Wexler Friedman LLP, is participating in the Business Leadership Forum’s “The Real Costs of Fraud” on March 1 at 9 a.m. at the Burchfield Penney Art Center. Panelists will discuss fraud, its impacts, real costs, and how to protect one’s business and the bottom line, through it all.
