of Forensic Audit, Superior Audit Office of Mexico, discusses how the ACFE specifically helped her career. One of the most popular resources on the Career Center website is Ask the Expert, in which top authorities in the fraud-fighting industry answer members’ queries. Sample questions include: What is the best way to ask for a raise? How do I get past the “experience required” that seems to be a prerequisite for every job? How did you know that making the move to self-employment was the right one? During the 23rd Annual ACFE Fraud Conference & Exhibition, we take the Career Center on the road with the Career Connection, featuring on-site professional development.

Obtaining my CFE has allowed me not only to speak with the knowledge and confidence of a subject matter expert in the fraud arena, it provides the clout to be listened to when you speak up about fraud.”

Attendees can glean critical information during a 50-minute session with career strategists, addressing everything from cover letters to how to handle a difficult co-worker. Recruiters from featured employers are available during the Career Fair on Monday, June 18, and we have professional development presentations during the breaks between sessions. These 10to 15-minute mini-seminars focus on one issue, such as how to negotiate your salary. For the first time ever, we will be offering a new career-oriented track at the ACFE Annual Fraud Conference: “Professional Development: Taking Your Career to the Next Level.” The popularity of the Career Connection made it a natural addition to the Conference. One session to consider is Hanging Out Your Shingle Without Messing Up, with Janet McHard, CFE, CPA, CFFA. This session will cover the firsthand experience of going from an employee in a large full-service CPA firm to opening a small shop with a very narrow service offering. It will outline possible potholes, concerns and advantages to being in a small niche firm, including business considerations, taxes, corporate form choices, insurance, engagement letters, office policies, timekeeping, data security, noncompete agreements, marketing, licensing and

more. McHard will talk about the “right” time go it alone, how to fund it, what kind of marketing can fill your pipeline and how to determine your geographic footprint for marketing, plus ways to determine your niche and whether there are enough customers in your market to make a go of it. Another session to consider is Growing Your Team & Yourself, led by Allen Still, CFE, CPA. In today’s forensic work environment, the key to a successful business is to continue to find new ways to challenge yourself and your employees. Networking and professional development are two of the easiest avenues to achieving this goal. This session will help you get the most out of these avenues. Of course, the most critical component to advancing your fraud-fighting career is the Certified Fraud Examiner credential. The CFE credential identifies you as an expert in the field of fraud examination. CFEs are increasingly sought after by a multitude of companies needing individuals familiar with preventing or detecting fraudulent schemes against their companies or clients. “Bringing staff with the CFE on board enables employers to develop a more skilled workforce. Professionals who earn

CFEs have a unique set of skills that are not found in any other career field or discipline; they combine knowledge of complex financial transactions with an understanding of methods, law, and how to resolve allegations of fraud. Why not position yourself as one of those individu-

Peter Davis serves as managing director at Simon Consulting, where his projects include receiverships over Ponzi schemes, alter ego analyses, fraud investigations, commercial damages, hidden asset searches and other matters. His knowledge of fraud detection and deterrence, interpretation of financial data, and determination of business and personal damages has served him well as an expert witness. Davis has also taught on the subject of forensic accounting and receiverships at Arizona State University and has provided training on fraud and forensic accounting to numerous organizations.

als? CFE Coach Angela Archie, CFE, is available to guide you through the process. She gives details of the CFE Exam and Prep Course study, and she can help you create a study plan that will allow you to earn the CFE credential within a timeframe that fits into your life commitments. Investing in this top-rated credential has many pay offs, starting with an increased salary: According to the 2010/2011 Compensation Guide for Anti-Fraud Professionals, CFEs earn nearly 22 percent more than their non-certified colleagues. You also gain greater expertise and, most importantly, the respect of your colleagues. Steve Ozan, CFE, Global Fraud Prevention Project Manager at Discover Financial Services, says, “Obtaining my CFE has allowed me not only to speak with the knowledge and confidence of a subject matter expert in the fraud arena, it provides the clout to be listened to when you speak up about fraud. The CFE credential also has allowed me to forge new connections with others in our chosen field and provide a network of

You are conversant in German and have consulted for companies in the United States, Germany and Japan. What types of unique challenges do you face when working with clients overseas? In particular, Japan is very different, and it takes good preparation to excel in their business environment. It is particularly important to understand the culture of the people before visiting a foreign country. How did you find out about the ACFE, and what compelled you to join in 1998? I have a passion for investigating frauds, so the ACFE was a natural fit… There has been a massive growth in the profession — in particular, after Enron and other large frauds. It is amazing to see all the people at [the ACFE Annual] Fraud Conferences. You also earned your CFE credential in 1998. How has being a CFE helped you in your career and in your work?

Conducting Internal Investigations Washington, D.C. • July 30-31, 2012 Conducting an internal investigation can be a difficult task. An investigation into employee wrongdoing can be costly, disruptive and time-consuming, and can also lead to a variety of legal problems and other unexpected complications if it is not conducted with the utmost care and confidentiality. However, a well-run internal investigation can enhance a company’s overall well-being and can help detect the source of lost funds, identify responsible parties and recover losses. It can also provide a defense to legal charges by terminated or disgruntled employees. But perhaps most important, an internal investigation will signal to other employees that the company will not tolerate fraud.

Liespotting: Proven Techniques to Detect Deception

Bribery and Corruption: Navigating the Global Risks

By Pamela Meyer, CFE

By Brian P. Loughman and Richard A. Sibery

NEW!

People — friends, family members, work colleagues, salespeople — lie to us all the time. Daily, hourly, constantly. None of us is immune, and all of us are victims. According to studies by several different researchers, most of us encounter nearly 200 lies a day.

NEW!

Now there’s something we can do about it. Liespotting links three disciplines — facial recognition training, interrogation training and a comprehensive survey of research in the field — into a specialized body of information developed specifically to help business leaders detect deception and get the information they need to successfully conduct their most important interactions and transactions (256 pages).

As businesses continue to expand globally into new and emerging markets, bribery and corruption risks have increased exponentially. Bribery and Corruption offers a comprehensive look at this growing problem, and at the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and other international anti-bribery and corruption conventions. Presenting hypothetical examples of situations companies will face, along with practical solutions, the book offers detailed global guidance on a region and country-specific basis (432 pages). $49 Members / $75 Non-Members

If Every Employee and Supplier Displayed Model Behavior…

In a perfect business world, every employee and third-party supplier would display model business behavior, and there would be little need for anti-fraud programs. But, in the real business world, occupational fraud and abuse are prevalent. So, businesses must implement anti-fraud programs to protect themselves f rom financial, legal and reputational harm. Tips are the leading source of fraud detection − and fraud hotlines are a leading source of tips. So, turn to EthicsLine ®, the official hotline of the ACFE. The EthicsLine package includes: • Hotline (telephone, web, mobile) for report intake • Case Management (web and mobile) for online investigation management • Analytics for tracking and trending • Communications Campaign Materials to communicate when and how to report observed business misconduct

Where a fraud hotline was in place, the average duration of a fraud scheme was reduced by 7 months, and the median loss was reduced by 59%.* * 2010 ACFE Report to the Nations on Occupational Fraud and Abuse

EthicsLine is now powered by Global Compliance
