In the Episode, I am joined by John Warren Vice President and General Counsel at the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE). We discuss the 2020 ACFE Report to the Nations, which is the most comprehensive report on the global scourge of fraud. The year’s Report is particularly important with the government bailouts from the fallout of Covid-19. It is a fascinating look of how fraud occurs, where is occurs and the steps you can take to prevent it.
Some of the highlights include:
- What is the ACFE Report to the Nations? How often is it released? What are you trying to capture?
- What are some of the big picture findings of the Report?
- What is the annual cost of global fraud?
- Why are hotlines so critical to fraud detection?
- What is the fraud tree?
- What are the 5 critical areas of occupational fraud reviewed?
- What does the Report to the Nations tell us about corruption?
- What detection/prevention areas are the most effective for corruption?
- With COVID-19 and the federal government bailout, why is fraud prevention and detection so much more critical now?
