 Notable Quotes

1.      “At the end of the day, the business owners are the ones who have the assets that are getting stolen.”

2.      “We have this thing called the optimism bias. We don’t think bad things will happen to us. Even more so, we don’t think bad things will happen to us compared to thinking good things will happen to us. We hire people. We know I can trust. So why would they steal?”

3.      “Don’t look at it as a cost center. Give the fraud professionals the ability to keep training in networking.”

4.     “The genius of LinkedIn is you meet the person, you send the invitation, you meet the person, and a couple of years down the road, you’re like that person pops up again. And you go back in your messages and remember, oh, yeah. I saw them there. I connected there.”

Kelly Paxton on Pink Collar Crime


Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley.
Compliance Officers are often generalists who dabble in fraud investigations from time to time when they crop up. So we invited Kelly Paxton who gets right in the weeds on fraud as her day job to help enlighten Compliance Officers more on the subject and share her fascinating stories on Pink Collar Crime. Did you know that there are some typical characteristics frequently found when women commit fraud or embezzle from organizations?  We discuss some of the commonalities, one of which indicates that the glass ceiling is pervasive even in misconduct!  Kelly explains Pink Collar Crime (spoiler alert, you don’t need to be a woman to commit pink collar crime, but many women do) and we discuss a couple of red flags that can indicate fraudulent behavior that Compliance Officers and investigators should be on the lookout for.
Lisa and Mary invite listeners to send in their essays on efforts to promote diversity and inclusion, a tribute to a mentor, productivity hacks or any of the other topics by July 1, 2020. Only one week to go before submissions close so get them in now!
