Speaking About Fraud and Business Operations.....
My fraud courses and seminars began a decade before Enron and Arthur Andersen made the headlines. What Enron did, aided by the cooperation it received from Arthur Andersen, was part of my fraud course from the beginning. Very few believed such a deception could happen.
I used my experience and knowledge as a business consultant and financial executive to create that business fraud course at UCLAs Business Extension School in 1991.
My seminars for Continuing Professional Education for accountants and attorneys are scheduled almost monthly.
What is Fraud?
Fraud has become the accepted term to describe how to steal money using information and a smile as a weapon. Committing fraud requires deception, abuse of trust and a cover up. Suspecting and detecting that cover up is the hard part. Accepting that you have been a victim comes next.
Fraudulent creativity seems boundless.
Why Do We Know So Little About Business Fraud?
We hear about the huge public ones.
We rarely learn about the private ones.
It's natural to report to police that you were robbed at gunpoint. It's harder to admit and have to prove that you were conned or duped. The victim of fraud is also being robbed, but not at gunpoint.
We feel that reporting acts of fraud or deceit occurring at work may end with being demoted, stigmatized or even fired. Whistleblowing is a lonely, risky and heroic act.
We get most of our information about fraud when someone is arrested or a company is publicly suspected in media reports. Our information comes after the fact. This site will help you gain knowledge before it is too late.
Publicly traded companies are required to publish their financial statements. Their activities can get public scrutiny.
Privately owned companies are not required to file financial statements or any other public information. They mostly choose not to disclose that fraud has occurred.
