Five Frauds and What You Can Learn from Them


The news is perpetually awash in fraud stories. We tied ve recent stories to ways that we can teach you to detect and, more importantly, prevent these frauds from happening to your clients or your company.
The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) contains rigorous anti-bribery measures for U.S. companies. The U.K. Bribery Act goes even further, making it illegal for any company doing business in the U.K. to accept or offer bribes anywhere in the world it does business. Of course, that doesnt stop companies from violating these acts. On April 16, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) charged Parker Drilling Company with FCPA violations. The company made improper payments to an intermediary to entertain ofcials in Nigeria in order to resolve a customs dispute. After the ofcial did the entertaining, Parker Drilling had their customs nes reduced by millions and were allowed to sell their Nigerian rigs. Parker Drilling agreed to pay more than $4 million to settle the SEC charges. (View a PDF of the full complaint at www.tinyurl.com/cmgmxvo.)

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).

From Skydiver to Fraud Fighter


Rose Karam, CFE, CIA, is Senior Internal Auditor for the City of Cleveland. While her lifes journey has seen her crisscrossing the country, and following her passions for skydiving, sailing and other experiences, it is her knowledge in accounting to which she returned to build a career. Today, Karam has an intense sense of focus and dedication to preventing and detecting fraud.

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

Internal Controls Manager Hopes to Use CFE to Obtain Crucial Information


Fraudsters arent the only people who sit across from fraud examiners at the interview table. Getting information from process owners within a company to aid in creating effective internal controls and policies can prove just as challenging. Anyone in our eld or a Seham S. Carson related occupation knows how difManager, cult it is to get information needed to Internal Controls & Accounting Policies make assessments or improvements, Bristow Group Inc. said Seham S. Carson, Manager of Internal Controls & Accounting Policies at Bristow Group Inc. The CFE Exam Review Course covered a lot of interviewing techniques and other concepts that will denitely be helpful in overcoming this. What made you decide to pursue the Certied Fraud Examiner (CFE) credential? Part of maintaining our internal controls framework is being aware of how fraud could penetrate the organization when creating/updating our controls. I have had some exposure to fraud-related reviews, however I am not an expert. When my manager told me I needed to be a fraud expert I immediately thought of the ACFE and its certication. It is well known in our industry and I knew it would give me the tools I needed to ensure my development needs were met. What role does fraud prevention and detection play in developing internal controls and policies? Ways to prevent and detect fraud are always part of any creation of internal controls or accounting policies. We want to consistently be efcient and be in compliance, but ensuring there is no room for fraud is always something we keep in mind when developing or updating controls and policies. What advice would you give to someone hoping to follow a similar career path as you? When looking for training or developing your teams, have an open mind about different types of certications and trainings available. The more well-rounded we are the more marketable we become, and the more value we can add to any organization we are a part of. What do you consider your greatest career achievement? This would have to be traveling to more than 20 countries. Starting my career in internal audit for a global energy services company allowed me to see the world. Being able to work effectively in so many countries with language barriers and cultural differences is always something that Ive been proud of. n

Detecting Fraud Through Vendor Audits


The potential for fraud is not solely an internal threat;
the businesses that provide an organization with goods and services can engage in fraudulent behavior as well. One of the ways to mitigate these external risks is to establish a contractual right-to-audit in purchasing and other vendor contracts. Auditing vendors and suppliers can be a critical deterrent and detection device for companies to ensure they are being treated equitably and are not victims of fraud.

and individuals, and for good reason: By the year 2019, total national health care spending is expected to exceed $4.57 trillion, representing 19.6 percent of the U.S. Gross Domestic Product. Health care companies and providers today face unique industry regulations, procedures and considerations, as well as a heightened potential for fraudulent activity. Consequently, fraud ghters need an in-depth understanding of the industry environment and the types of health care fraud that can occur, including how to prevent, detect and investigate them.

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.

The ACFE Bookstore offers hundreds of resources including books and manuals, self-study CPE courses, the CFE Exam Prep Course, merchandise and more. In this interview, Allan Bachman, CFE, the ACFEs Education Manager, offers his suggestion on one must-have ACFE resource to help you in your ght against fraud. 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.
