ACFE self-study courses do not require advanced preparation. Association of Certied Fraud Examiners, ACFE, the ACFE Seal, ACFE Logo, Certied Fraud Examiner (CFE), CFE Exam Prep Course and Fraud Magazine are trademarks owned by the Association of Certied Fraud Examiners, Inc. 2013 by the Association of Certied Fraud Examiners, Inc.
Let us increase your skills and training in this area, with such invaluable courses as the online self-study, FCPA Compliance: Creating an Effective Anti-Corruption Compliance Program, which provides a comprehensive overview of the FCPA and how to create a program that will combat and prevent corruption. In April, a co-owner of a chiropractic clinic in Texas pleaded guilty to defrauding car insurance companies out of $3 million. He did this on several fronts: by recruiting people to be represented by a local law rm and running Private Chiropractic Care, which billed insurance companies for treatments that were never actually done. The law rm sent the alleged accident victims to the clinic, where they received treatments by unlicensed, untrained and unqualied employees. The law rm paid the co-owner approximately $112,000. The ACFEs new Insurance Fraud Casebook: Paying a Premium for Crime, by founder and Chairman Dr. Joseph T. Wells, CFE, CPA, delves into real cases of insurance fraud, written by the fraud examiners who uncovered them. This book covers every type of insurance fraud, culled from hundreds of submissions, how they were investigated and what CFEs can learn from them. The statistics are grim: The United Nations has named Sierra Leone as the worlds least livable country, one out of every eight women die in childbirth, and one out of every four children born there will die before they are ve years old. These terrible facts are the reason why millions of dollars in donations have poured into the country to try and improve health care. However in March, Sierra Leones anti-corruption agency charged 29 of the countrys top health ofcials with embezzling from GAVI Alliance, a vaccine provider. The countrys top doctor is included in the group. Investigators found luxury goods that would be impossible to afford on government employee salaries, doctors charging for services that were
supposed to be free and nurses charging for drugs that, again, were to be free. They couldnt even nd bank records for 23 of the Health Ministrys 55 bank accounts. (See http://tinyurl.com/czhujhe.) According to the ACFEs 2012 Report to the Nations, more than 86 percent of reported fraud cases involved asset misappropriation, making it the most common category of occupational fraud. To battle such common fraud, the ACFE provides the following resources: the online self-study course Other Peoples Money: The Basics of Asset Misappropriation and the video and workbook, Making Crime Pay: How to Locate Hidden Assets. In April, FBI and IRS ofcials descended on the U.S. largest diesel retailer, Pilot Flying J, revealing a nearly twoyear investigation. The ofcials also unsealed the afdavit that authorized the search. Two sources had secretly recorded discussions with sales team members who outlined the scheme of manually reducing rebates the company owed customers, typically targeting smaller customers who may not have had the resources to check that they were receiving their full rebates. Pilots vice president of sales was recorded advising sales associates to give the full rebates to their more sophisticated customers. This same VP also recounted a story of how one customer discovered its rebates had been cut by $1 million, but the VP said Pilot still made $6 million off of them by never revealing the cuts went deeper than what the client uncovered. When asked in the recording what CEO Jimmy Haslam (who also owns the NFLs Cleveland Browns) thought, the VP laughed and said Haslam knew about it and loved it. (Read the full story at http://tinyurl.com/bwysd46.) This is a perfect example of how tone at the top can adversely affect an entire organization. A strong ethics program can set the tone, and that is why the ACFE has numerous resources to address this issue, including: Ethical Issues for Fraud Examiners (Online Self-Study); How to Build an Effective Ethics Program (Online Self-Study); and Inside the Fraudsters Mind (Video/Workbook).

The fraudsters were crafty. In order to obtain variable annuities and death put bonds, they interviewed terminally
ill patients to ascertain who would be the most lucrative, i.e., who would die the quickest. Rhode Island attorney Joseph Caramadre, president and CEO of an estate planning company, and Raymour Radhakrishnan, an employee, pled guilty in late 2012 to conspiracy to commit identity theft and wire fraud. They lied to patients and their families in order to get identity information, which they used to buy the annuities and death put bonds. When the patients died, the fraudsters cashed out. According to the FBI, Caramadre trolled for potential victims most likely to live six months or less by visiting AIDS facilities, putting ads in a local religious newspaper offering cash to terminally ill individuals [for funeral expenses], and even looking through his own company les (http://tinyurl.com/cfycjnd). This scheme went on for an astonishing 15 years before the FBI, U.S. Postal Inspection Service, Internal Revenue Service and U.S. Attorneys Ofce exposed the fraud. The ACFEs podcast, FraudTalk, covered health care fraud schemes and enforcement trends and strategies in January (see ACFE.com/Podcast). The ACFE also offers Health Care Fraud in America (Webinar CD), plus a brand-new online self-study, Fraud Against Government Health Care Programs. No matter what fraud is facing you and your organization, the ACFE has the resources to help you overcome these schemes and create a fraud prevention program designed to stop them in their tracks.
Rose Karam, CFE, CIA Senior Internal Auditor City of Cleveland
Tell us a little about your non-traditional career path. I was a skydiver for 15 years, and my husband and I ran a skydiving jumpsuit business for seven years. I made over 1,000 jumps before trying my hand at sailing. We bought, gutted and converted a 40-ft. bus into our home, doing all the work ourselves. We learned welding, plumbing, electrical work and bodywork. Then we began crisscrossing the county driving semi-trucks and delivering freight. Back in Cleveland, I worked at a storage facility renting spaces and moving trucks, setting up the books on the computer and doing taxes. Later I found myself at another non-profit agency as an accountant. How did you become passionate about ghting fraud? While in college, I worked at the main post ofce and considered becoming a Postal Inspector. This is when my curiosity for investigative work rst arose. Later on, I worked for a non-prot agency and heard stories of the woman who had gotten away with a sizeable embezzlement. Reputation was at stake. Despite all the red ags, there was no tightening of controls. I learned that trust is not a control, its wishful thinking I set a goal to gain more knowledge on fraud investigating, which led to my Certied Fraud Examiner (credential). What are some of your duties as Senior Internal Auditor for the City of Cleveland? As a Senior Internal Auditor, I often lead audits and provide recommendations based on my experience or expertise in the eld, and provide guidance to newer members. What are some of the best lessons you have learned through your work experience? Positions of trust are powerful fraud weapons. Highlevel positions, little or no segregation of duties, a lack of controls, and absent delegation-of-duties all work to the fraudsters benet. Everyone should have to answer to someone because without that control in place the temptation for fraud rises. You need to have a passion for discovery, education and growth and I consider myself a sponge for knowledge. n

Managing anti-fraud compliance
obligations for companies can be a daunting task. Anti-fraud laws and regulations often impose monitoring, auditing, collecting and reporting requirements on regulated entities. And often, regulated entities must coordinate such efforts into a variety of fraud-prevention plans. Moreover, when anti-fraud regulations change, fraud examiners must be ready to implement any new requirements to ensure their companies remain in compliance. This course will explain how national and international laws and regulations apply to your business, and how to ensure compliance with industry practices and anti-fraud laws and regulations.

Mortgage Fraud
In the most recent Financial Crimes Report to the Public, the FBI states that the continuing deterioration of the real estate market and the dramatic rise in mortgage delinquencies and foreclosures helped fuel the nancial crisis of 2009 and exposed fraudulent practices that were prevalent throughout the mortgage industry. Compounding the problem, the FBI notes, is that a high percentage of mortgage fraud involves collusion by industry insiders, such as appraisers, mortgage brokers, attorneys, loan originators, and other professionals engaged in the industry.

The ACFE Law Enforcement and Government Partnership (LEGP) has been renamed to clearly include government agencies. While government agencies have always been welcome to the program, it is important to the ACFE that we convey that all agencies, domestic and international at the federal, state and local levels, are encouraged to take advantage of the benets the LEGP offers. We are proud to welcome several new additions to the LEGP including domestic partners like the Miami-Dade County, Florida, ISD Security Management, the Iowa Department of Public Safety, and the Rivera Beach, Florida, Police Department as well as international partners like the St. Kitts and Nevis Inland Revenue Department and the Western Australia Police. Despite the differences between these various agencies, they all have one thing in common: their commitment to detect, prevent and deter the incidences of fraud, waste and abuse. Research conducted by the ACFE determined that in agencies with CFEs on staff, frauds were uncovered 50 percent sooner, and the median fraud loss was 44 percent lower. The effectiveness of the unique expertise CFEs possess increases when entire teams share common terminology. Participating in this program is an effective way for agencies to certify their employees to become CFEs and strengthen their ability to ght fraud by enhancing their anti-fraud experience and expertise. Now, LEGP members can take advantage of becoming CFEs with higher group discounts available. Other discounts include savings on premier anti-fraud training and materials, complimentary exhibit space at the ACFE Global Fraud Conference, free employment ads on our online Career Center and several other benets that more than 70 partnering agencies have chosen to take advantage of to date. n

What is your professional background and current role at the ACFE? I started in accounting, moving into internal auditing shortly thereafter. I headed a medium-sized audit and security division for a large retailer and worked fraud cases almost exclusively. I became a CFE in 1993 while I was a director of internal audit at a college in the Northeast where I also worked a number of fraud cases and advised on IT security and software implementation projects. What ACFE bookstore product would you recommend as a benecial resource to CFEs? Is all of them an answer? Singling one out is difcult, but right now Ive got Gerry Zacks newest book called Financial Statement Fraud. At some point fraud, either intentionally or unintentionally, rolls through nancial statements. As a former auditor, it was one of the rst places I found outlier transactions which in many cases took me to frauds doorstep. There is never an end to the number of methods those with intent to deceive will go to weave their fraud into the whole cloth of accounting transactions. Pulling on threads to unravel potential fraud was always good fun and Gerrys book has a lot of insight and analytical approaches to detecting and investigating nancial statement fraud. Why would CFEs be interested in this product? For the reasons mentioned above and because it is well researched, well laid out, coherent and comprehensive, yet under boat anchor heft at about 300 pages. The book cuts to the chase, bypassing Accounting 101 fundamentals by getting to the core of fraudulent activities; all the schemes are here, as are methods of detection and investigation. How is the information in this product useful for CFEs in their professional roles? My bookshelf, when I was a practicing auditor, was my toolbox. I went back to it time and time again to get what I needed. By constantly being open to learning and keeping abreast of recent trends in detection, investigation and schemes means you will be the on-site expert when the time comes. Time spent researching and being informed means less time on an investigation learning as you go. I always felt if it did not keep me one step ahead, I was at least never more than one step behind. See pg. 53 to learn more about Financial Statement Fraud.
