You hire good people and you pay them good wages. Why would they steal? Human behavior is incredibly complex and we can never know all the motivations behind why good people commit bad behavior.
Most auditors don’t have a degree in psychology, sociology, or criminology, so here's your opportunity to get a crash course on these aspects of fraud. This discussion will have you looking at risk differently and change your ideas of how honest people behave, why they might steal, and what can be done to keep them honest and prevent fraud in your organization.
Kelly Paxton is a nationally recognized expert in fraud. After interviewing many "good" people who stole she knew that most business owners never saw it coming. Everyone wants to think they are immune to theft, fraud, and embezzlement. Kelly has investigated hundreds of cases ranging from money laundering to conflict of interest to embezzlement. Her hands-on investigative experience for the government and private sector, along with research into criminal behavior and investigating for both the prosecution and defense, provides real-life, practical information.
