Please join us for the annual IIA Chicago Chapter Fraud Conference. During this training event, you will learn essential skills for identifying and investigating fraud from our four training sessions:
"Success Strategies and Pitfalls in Implementing Scenario-Based Fraud Risk Assessments"
Scenario-based fraud risk assessments can be used to supplement Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) initiatives, to bolster existing SOX compliance, as part of a comprehensive proactive fraud prevention program, or as a scalpel targeting high risk or high impact areas. Attendees will learn practical approaches to successful implementation of the fraud risk assessment including strategies for planning and executing the assessment, identifying fraud risks, facilitating the assessment, eliciting information from participants and rating risks.
Speaker: Marc W. Courey, RSM McGladrey
"The Cendant Fraud and Investigation"
Hear from a former Cendant auditor about the 1998 Cendant fraud, which, prior to Enron, was considered the most egregious example of corporate malfeasance in recent financial history. Discover how the internal control structure at Cendant was manipulated and how to use this information to identify signs of major fraudulent activity within your organization. Find out how to survive an investigation into the potential misdeeds of a senior member of your company.
Speaker: Dan Healy, Genworth Financial
"Profiling the White Collar Criminal"
In this session a seasoned fraud buster and white collar criminologist, will discuss; the various theories of crime causation as applied to the white collar criminal, American corporation as a Criminogenic Enterprise that promotes an unethical manager mind set, common traits, education, personality, age and gender of the white collar criminal, red flags of the white collar criminal to be aware of, and methods to combat the white collar criminal mind set.
Speaker: Craig L. Greene, McGovern & Greene LLP
"Corporate Governance, Fraud, and Internal Auditing"
In the wake of accounting scandals and serious lapses in the governance of corporations globally, internal auditing has increasingly gained prominence and come to be regarded as an integral part of effective corporate governance. In particular, internal auditing can play a key role with respect to fraud prevention, deterrence and detection within organizations. Internal audit's anti-fraud activities could potentially span a mix of assurance, consulting, and investigative engagements and thus help strengthen corporate governance.
Speaker: Sridhar Ramamoorti, Grant Thornton
Also during this event, our Awards Luncheon will be held. During this luncheon, the Chapter presents new CIA and other certificate awardees.
