Week 1: CFO Series: CFO or Detective? Running Skillful Investigations | CPE: 2 | Field of Study: Auditing | Discussion Leader: Tracy Cooper, CPA, CFE | Date: Friday, May 2, 10:00 a.m. | Description: CFOs are on the front line of managing risk within the organization, often including investigations into suspected theft or fraud. Fraud investigations are not an accounting audit. Many lack the training needed to conduct a fair and legal investigation. This course will provide the essential knowledge and skills to conduct successful internal investigations. The goal is to ensure that when a case is referred to law enforcement or results in other legal action, the findings will be admissible and robust. How can we respect the rights of all parties involved, preserve evidence, conduct proper surveillance, and distinguish between company materials and individual property? Proper investigations are intricate. Be aware of the risk to the organization and to the investigating team. The goal is to lead and plan internal investigations with confidence and legal integrity. Be aware and be prepared.
