Lecture Title: Developing an Effective E-Mail Security Policy
Lecture Description: Corporate e-mail systems are so pervasive
that there is a temptation to take them for
granted; and yet the security and
privacy issues surrounding such systems are surprisingly complex. An
uncontrolled
system can lead to costly lawsuits by employees and by those they
send unwanted content. Corporations have
collectively spent millions to
settle sexual harassment and other types of actions as a result of improper use
of e-mail
by employees. An equal amount of financial damage is
caused by mailings that bring down whole servers, effectively
making host
LAN unavailable for hours and sometimes days. This lecture presents
everything you need to look
like a hero to your boss by proposing and
implementing a security policy to control your company's ever growing
volume of
e-mail.

be interrupted by a telemarketer. Everyone's e-mail
in box is crammed
daily with dozens of unsolicited offers from people and organizations you've
never heard off pushing
products you probably don't want. This
deluge of marketing communication has proven a useful tool to fraudsters of
every kind. The good news is their scams are usually just old wine in new
bottles...all the scams that once were peddled
to victims on a one-on-one basis
are now broadcast to thousands in a few seconds. But internet and
telephone
fraud is different in a number of important particulars and its those
differences on which this lecture focuses. Written by

of the use of both of
these technologies by fraudsters.

Lecture Title: Preventing Computer Crime Through Biometric Identification
Lecture Description: In the wake of the
September 11th terror attacks and weekly changes in
alertness code levels a new interest has emerged in biometric methods of
identification. From face recognition
systems in daily use at airports to hand and iris scanning systems

identification is arising as a way to authenticate that we
are who we say we are. The field of biometric authentication
is dynamic and changing daily. Since the
landscape of biometric identification software and hardware is also
complex, this introduction, written in layman's

Lecture Title: Corporate Espionage
Lecture Description: Espionage isn't
just spy versus spy between nations anymore; its become such a standard
feature
of American and European business that the company without a plan to gather and

corporate espionage from the point of view of one who may be called upon to
advise management
or the audit committee of the board of directors on this
controversial topic. The lecture is a good introduction

Lecture Title: Tax Avoidance or Tax Fraud - You Be the Judge!
Lecture Description: When does an
aggressive program of tax avoidance shade over into a program of
tax
fraud? Elaborate
schemes of tax avoidance featuring the use of off-shore bank accounts, shell corporations and
confusing transfers of
funds were a prominent feature of the 1990's tax landscape. The challenge for the taxing
authorities of the developed world is to keep up with the every increasing sophistication of these types of
schemes
while developing methods to investigate
and prosecute them. This lecture presents a number of case histories of
individuals and corporations who pushed tax avoidance to the limit...some have been successfully prosecuted and
some
walked free. Are they guilty only of aggressive tax avoidance or of tax fraud...you be the judge.

Lecture Title: Underwriting Fraud & the Analysts
Lecture Description: Often overlooked in the confusion
surrounding complex stock issuance and
underwriting related fraud
schemes is the role played by investment analysts who, in recent years, have
acted
more like salesmen for the securities underwritten by their employing firms than independent watch
dogs looking out
for client and investor
interests. This lecture focuses on the types of issues highlighted
recently by several former
former SEC Chairmen and others who have been highly critical of the close relationship between
securities analysts,
the firms who employ them and the securities they issue for third parties. It is critical for fraud
examiners to
understand the complexities caused by analysts who may not always be independent of the companies
whose securities on which they are expressing an opinion.

Lecture Title: Using Corporate Intelligence Techniques in Fraud Examination
Lecture Description: Corporate intelligence is a relatively new
field which applies information gathering
techniques developed by governments during the Cold War to the competitive
marketplace. These same
powerful techniques can be used not only to analyze competitors but by the Fraud Examiner investigating
organizational and management frauds. Such frauds are complex (witness Enron) and can involve the
financial
activity of a global corporation for many years (WorldCom). When the Fraud Examiner is called upon to
investigate
such frauds its usually as part of a team and the gathering of accurate intelligence on the target can make the
difference between effective case building/prosecution and investigative
failure. Learn how you can apply the
same effective intelligence
gathering techniques to your investigations as used by the Fortune 500 and
US government
agencies.

Lecture Title: Understanding the HIPAA Security Rule
Lecture Description: The Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 is the most complex
piece of Federal health care related legislation passed by Congress in the last
50 years; the Act has
revolutionized the way health care is provided in the United States The
Security Rule portion of the Act
sets information security standards with regard to personal health information;
in the process of doing so
it has defined Federal standards for all types of sensitive information.
Fraud Examiners and Auditors
will be confronting the provisions of this Act whenever they or their
clients deal with issues of information security,
both inside and outside of government for years to come. Any Auditor or
Fraud Examiner with knowledge
of the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules will be at a definite advantage in

Lecture Description: Its often said that the work of the
financial analyst begins where the work of
the accountant leaves off. Financial Statement Analysis is a powerful tool
which auditors and Fraud
Examiners can use to make sense of the numbers in any financial statement.
A thorough analysis
of the principal financial statements is the first step in any audit or
investigation of a company's
performance. Fluctuation analysis between performance reporting periods,

piece of Federal health care related legislation passed by Congress in the last
50 years; the Act has
revolutionized the way health care is provided in the United States The
Privacy Rule portion of the Act
sets a strict Federal standards for the privacy of all personal health
information (PHI) stored in whatever form
i.e., machine readable, on paper, oral, etc. The Privacy Rule has
proven the most complex for health care
providers to understand since, unlike the Security Rule, there are fewer, well
established templates for
compliance available. Most organizations know something about information
security but few, prior to
HIPAA had full blown privacy policies. Fraud Examiners and Auditors will be confronting the provisions of
this Act whenever they or their
clients deal with issues of customer or patient privacy,
both inside and outside
of government for years to come. Any Auditor or
Fraud Examiner with knowledge of the HIPAA Privacy and Security
Rules will be at a definite advantage in

Lecture Title: The Politics of Taxation - Who Gets Taxed
Lecture Description: This is a lecture on tax definition and
on the politics of taxation addressed to auditors,
CPA’s and Fraud Examiners, in short, to the tax generalist. As anyone knows who has been reading the
newspapers on the Bush administration’s tax cuts, the subject, which must have been of concern as far back
as the time when taxes were first introduced in human affairs, is a difficult one. In any modern society the principles
for judging tax fairness and equity will necessarily be applied to a tax system that is formidably complex
and inaccessible. There is, however, a level of judgment that the auditor or
CPA can bring to bear on
these matters to accompany her mastery of the technical details of the tax
system at any given time. Our
effort will be to map the main issues involved in tax politics rather than to argue their merits.

Lecture Title: The Forensic Accountant - Investigating the Balance Sheet & Income Statement
Lecture Description: This is a hard hitting explication of hands
on investigative techniques for the practicing
forensic accountant whose client is a prosecutor, lawyer or potential litigant.
It is presumed that the outcome of the
accountant's investigation will be a report in support of litigation or
prosecution. The balance sheet and income
statement are discussed as "fields for investigation" whose accounts
are examined for clues to prove or disprove
malfeasance on the part of the target of investigation. Focusing on a
range of business types, the lecture
walks the reader through the most important investigative issues involved in
each account category presenting
actual tests and the type of outcome the practitioner can expect. Practitioners
will be prepared to contribute
to the building of an effective prosecution or suit and to
avoid investigative
failure.

Lecture Title: The Forensic Accountant - Investigating Expenses
Lecture Description: This is the companion lecture to CPENet 144
- Investigating the Balance Sheet
& Income Statement. The lecture presents a range of tests to use in
probing a wide range of expenditure
categories in a real world environment. Often practitioners are unfamiliar
with specific investigative techniques
they can use to find misstatement or fraud because they haven't confronted fraud
in a given expenditure category
within a certain business type before. By deploying a fairly wide range of
examples, this lecture provides
an overview of the issues in building a case from the expenditure categories
most associated with
fraud and misstatement. You will learn how to use the accounts themselves
to support a case for
proving the payment of personal expenses and for other types of looting from the
business itself. The lecture
will help you differentiate, as a practitioner, between legitimate
expenditures (with or without tax implications)
and expense transactions indicative of fraud or abuse.

Lecture Title: All You Need to Know About Financial Reporting
Lecture Description: Rusty on the mechanics of financial
reporting? Perhaps the last accounting course
you had was ten year ago in college and it wasn't your favorite subject
anyway. This lecture focuses on
the basics of financial reporting for the Fraud Examiner or investigator who
wants to know where to look
in financial statements for the red flags of fraud. The lecture takes you
quickly from the basic debit and credit
level all the way to a consideration of the balance sheet and statement of
owners equity, then to
the statement of income and on to the statement of cash flows (sources and uses
of funds). In easy
to understand, non-technical language, the lecture presents accounting entries
associated with a number of red
flags of fraud or financial statement manipulations. This is a good place
to start if you are new to Fraud
Examination or forensic accounting or just want to recall what that college
professor told you so long ago.

Lecture Title: Basic Concepts of Property & Liability Insurance for Fraud Examiners & Auditors
Lecture Description: Whether you are analyzing the operations of
a client, investigating a fraud or
setting up your own practice, a basic knowledge of the mechanics of insurance is
essential for any
practicing auditor or Fraud Examiner. As fraud practitioners we are
constantly confronted with situations
involving property and liability insurance claims and coverage. In
the wake of a fraud, it is often
only the insurance coverage standing between your client and ruin. It is
important that all of us
advising legal counsel and our clients assess the impact of policies that are
often quite complex
and which can, at times, even furnish the motivation for various crimes (if
insurance fraud is
involved). This lecture presents the basic concepts underlying the theory
of insurance and comes
with a useful glossary of terms and definitions prepared with the forensic
accountant, auditor and
fraud examiner in mind. If you are setting up your own practice, this
lecture will give you a leg up on
the type liability coverage you will need.

Lecture Title: The Forensic Accountant: In Support of Mergers & Acquisitions
Lecture Description: In the United States and worldwide in the
past year, there have been
recurrent waves of corporate acquisitions and mergers. In fact, in the
period from 2000 to 2005,
given a somewhat different attitude by the Department of Justice about
combinations, increasing
globalization, the prevalence of more business failures or bankruptcies, and
competitive pressures,
there has been a new surge of take-over bids and friendly corporate marriages.
This trend continues
apace and the Forensic Accountant is frequently called upon to lend her
expertise in setting
a price for her client's acquisition or take over candidate. This lecture
presents the basics
in determining a realistic valuation and in development of alternative financial
approaches
to the structuring of the merger or acquisition deal itself. This type of
assignment is one that
the practitioner new to Forensic Accounting often finds particularly challenging
in that the processes
required to set up the assignment can be complex and multi-sided. This is
a flexible how-to
guide to aid the practitioner in setting up and managing this type of engagement
right through
to the format of the her final report.

scandals has come Sarbanes Oxley
and the wave of related legislation related to raising the bar on corporate
governance. Sarbanes Oxley
requires that every listed company implement and maintain a Code of Ethical
Conduct. Its critical for
Forensic Accountants, Fraud Examiners and auditors of all kinds to have a grasp
on the ethical climate
of clients organizations. This lecture provides an overview of the ethical
thought of the West as that thought
has been applied to practical ethical problems of business practice and of
the workplace. The lecture concludes
with a content outline for a Code of Ethical Conduct developed according to the

Lecture Title: The Forensic Accountant: The Audit of Retirement Plans
Lecture Description: It seems that one has only to open a
newspaper today to find another article in the business
section about companies large and small downsizing or eliminating the retirement
plans of their retired
workers. Since many of these plans were instituted as a result of collective
bargaining and often created as an
additional way to compensate, attract and retain a qualified workforce, company
decisions reducing or eliminating
plans are controversial and have spawned lawsuit after lawsuit. Forensic
Accountants and auditors have
a crucial role to play not only in assisting with proper controls over
management of a well run plan but in representing
management or labor in the event of litigation. This lecture focuses on the
various types of management initiated retirement
plans and the problems involved in auditing them. Given the complexity of
such programs, auditors specializing in the analysis
and control of retirement plans are among the most highly compensated in
industry today.

Lecture Title: The Auditor's Role in Continuity of Operations & Disaster Recovery Planning
Lecture Description: As demonstrated so graphically by the
findings of the Bipartisan 9-11 Commission and by
the fumbling FEMA and State response to Hurricane Katrina, organizations today,
both public and private, are largely
on their own in preparing for disasters that can threaten their ability to
continue as going concerns. The Sarbanes Oxley
legislation makes clear that a primary role of the internal control system is to
ensure the on-going viability of the organization
to achieve its mission. That means that the controls governing disaster recovery
and continuity of operations planning
must be of principal concern for any auditor serving the organization. This
lecture addresses the audit role in
continuity of operations planning, a business process that goes well beyond
traditional disaster recovery planning
and procedures (which were concerned solely with information technology
functions), to embrace the response of
the entire organization to a disaster or emergency. As demonstrated by the 9-11
experience, every component
of the organization must be a contributing part of the business recovery
planning and implementation process
for the process to work.

Lecture Description: Forensic Accountants and Fraud Examiners
have played, and are playing, a prominent
role in the investigation of the fraud related activity and general performance
of executives at WorldCom, Enron
and a host of others. Surprising as it seems, there is very little guidance
available on the set up and planning for
the audit of executive performance; apart from the purely financial aspects
emphasized by the Sarbanes Oxley legislation,
its been something of a neglected topic. This lecture covers performance and
management auditing from the standpoint
of the steps required to implement a thorough review of management actions
starting with the process of formulating
audit objectives and the writing the related audit program all the way through
to writing the final report for your prosecutorial
or management client.

Lecture Title: Fraud Awareness Auditing
Lecture Description: External Auditors, Forensic Accountants,
Internal Auditors and Fraud Examiners
each
have varying responsibilities for the detection and reporting of frauds they
encounter during the course of their
work. Fraud Examiners and Forensic Accountants are usually only called in
when the presence of fraud is
a certainty or highly suspected. CPA's and Internal Auditors have a
responsibility to detect fraud during their
examinations if there is a reasonable expectation that the fraud would have been
detected by a competent
auditor exercising the due care and the normal procedures of the audit.
Both the external and internal auditor
must be aware of the red flags of fraud on every engagement and plan their work
accordingly. exercising
"professional skepticism" every step of way. This lecture covers the fraud
related responsibilities of each
of these types of auditors, presents the red flags of employee and management
fraud, and details the requirements
for fraud reporting. It also includes the steps each type of auditor is
required to take when an actual fraud is
discovered.

Lecture Title: Introduction to Information Systems Auditing [this is an Adobe Audio lecture-click here for more information]
Lecture Description: There is scarcely an audit performed today
that does not involve some degree of
auditor interaction with information systems. Financial Auditors, Internal
Auditors, Fraud Examiners and
Forensic Accountants are all involved, to one degree or another with auditing
either the computer system
itself or information contained in systems files and most often with both. This
at a time when Information
Systems Auditors are often as scarce as hen's teeth. In these circumstances it
behooves every auditor to
know something about information systems auditing if only so as to do a better
job of describing systems
related issues to the experts. This lecture targets those who need a good
introduction to information
systems auditing. How is the computer used most effectively by the
auditor? What is the difference between
auditing around, through and with the computer? What kind of approaches can
every auditor do on her own
and which require the use of experts?

Lecture Title: The Legal Liabilities of Accountants & Auditors
Lecture Description: Accountants and auditors are being sued as
never before. Damage claims of hundreds of
millions of dollars have been paid by CPA firms and their insurers. Professional
liability insurance is becoming ever
more expensive and harder to obtain. The Arthur Anderson CPA firm declared
bankruptcy under the pressure of just
such claims. Doubtless, the sub-prime mortgage melt down will prove yet another
battleground for a profession which
seems increasingly under investor scrutiny even as its Standards are rewritten
under SEC oversight. This lecture is a
good general introduction to the issues involved in the professional liability
of accountants and auditors as the profession
moves forward in increasingly troubled times. It describes relevant law,
the role and activities of the SEC, and presents
the forms used in securities filings and their purpose. It specifies the
civil and criminal liability provisions of the
Securities Acts and compares civil liability to common law while citing a number
relevant cases for clarification of
issues and presentation of historical context.

Lecture Title: The Auditor Confronts Violence in the Workplace
Lecture Description: All across America and all over the world
the tide of institutional and workplace violence is
inexorably rising. It seems that hardly a day goes by when auditors and
their organizations are not confronted with
headlines announcing yet another Virginia Tech or Columbine tragedy with all the
accompanying human and economic
suffering such seemingly senseless events entail. As key members of the
management team, auditors and other
security professionals are uniquely charged with responsibility for helping to
keep our organizations, fellow employees and
clients secure. Every student, employee and client entering our respective
corporate, educational and governmental
communities has a right to feel safe and secure while doing so. This
lecture focuses on specific actions that can be
taken, right now, at all levels of our organizations to ensure a prepared
management and workforce in the event of
emergency or catastrophe. As auditors and security professionals we are
engaged in Continuity of Operations and
Disaster Recovery Planning on a routine basis. We have an equally vital
role to play in response to the problem of
institutional violence through the preparation of security, response and trauma
playing and the response training of our
workforce at all levels. This lecture is an attempt to present a hands on
approach to the issue of dealing with
the multi-faceted issue institutional violence, focusing on the identification
of potential perpetrators and the structuring
of appropriate organizational and individual response.
