Taxonomy of Fraud in Microfinance

December 10, 2015Fraud Doctor

FraudCast – Cloud Computing

August 25, 2015September 12, 2016Fraud Doctor

The other day I was at a client site assisting them with building their global antifraud program. While there, I realized they did not have a process for back-up related to employees who travelled. They had a robust system-level process for backing up desktops and laptops while they were actively connected to their network.

Introduction to the Fraud Field – Antifraud as a Career

April 29, 2015April 30, 2015Fraud Doctor

I had the privilege of speaking to the I.T. and Criminal Justice students at ECPI University in Charlotte, North Carolina today. We talked about what it is that I do in antifraud, how I got started in the field, and what I look for in candidates. It was great to interact with the students. Their questions were tough, insightful and on point. I hope that the lecture sparked their interest in the field. In fact, two students came up to me afterwards and said they were now strongly considering a career in antifraud. If you are a seasoned professional working in the antifraud space, consider speaking at your local colleges… Read More
