Employees

skills of today's manager are being called to the fore more and more in an
era of
downsizing and staff cutbacks. Knowing how to defuse a potentially explosive situation is

Lecture Title: Fraud Prevention Programs
Lecture Description: In the wake of Enron, WorldCom and a host of
others, the issue of corporate governance
and fraud prevention have leapt to the
fore. Companies who adopt fraud prevention on a formal basis and implement all the associated best practice tools will be in a position to reap the
benefits in investor and market confidence. Appropriate fraud prevention
is based on the actions of the board, of the audit committee of the
board and of the entire corporate management team. This lecture presents
an approach to developing the type of best of breed program to make your client
or employer stand out. Emphasizes the role of fraud examiners, auditors
and board oversight committees.

Lecture Title: Performance Evaluation of
Professional Employees
Lecture Description: Performance evaluations are something we all have to do,
although most of us would
admit that they are not something we very much enjoy. The
problem becomes even more complicated when the person we are evaluating is a peer, a
fellow professional we have to somehow evaluate. We developed this lecture
in response to a
request from a member of our editorial board who was recently promoted into a position
where she has to evaluate fellow CPA's; she reports the course was a real help.

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.
Level of Difficulty: Intermediate
Number of CPE's: 2 CPE - 120 minutes of self study plus 10 minutes to answer ten
questions for a total of 130 minutes.

Lecture Title: Cyber Terrorism
Lecture Description: Cyber terrorists have
the means and the will to disrupt critical information networks
worldwide. Every system from those controlling public utilities and medical facilities
to those supporting banking and financial
institutions are potential targets. Denial of service attacks during
critical hours of operation and the theft of thousands
of credit card numbers have been among the reported incidents in the news
recently. As a fraud examiner, internal
audit or security professional, you have an obligation to your clients to be
familiar with the principal threats posed
by the common types of cyber terror attacks. This lecture treats security
as a business process with a well
defined set of critical controls, the majority of which must be in place if your
client enterprises are to be protected.
Level of Difficulty: Intermediate
Number of CPE's: 3 CPE - 180 minutes of self study plus

questions for a total of 200 minutes.

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
securing and servicing future clients
within the health care and all other industries.

Lecture Title:
Understanding the HIPAA Privacy
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
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

within the health care and all other industries.

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.
Level of Difficulty: Basic
Number of CPE's: 2 CPE - 100 minutes of self study plus

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.
