Occupational Fraud and Money Laundering

According to estimates by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (www.acfe.com), the average company loses five percent of its annual revenues to fraud.  Frauds can range from minor employee theft to the $11 billion dollar fraud at Worldcom.  This course will alert business owners to steps they can take to reduce fraud in their organizations.  This course will also alert investigators to red flags that may indicate money laundering.  Money laundering has become an important topic since September 11, 2001, as some terrorist organizations are thought to launder money to finance their activities.

Social Media and Law Enforcement

Many opportunities exist for law enforcement professionals to use the tools for community outreach.  The purpose of this project is to create several online learning modules for law enforcement professionals to develop the requisite foundation of skills to use these technologies effectively.  For example, some police and fire departments are already use technologies like Facebook or Twitter to get information out to their communities immediately, rather than needing to wait for the next day’s local print media release.  Facebook allows instant dissemination of multimedia information to other subscribed Facebook users; Twitter enables short messages to be dispersed to mobile device users instantaneously.  Both have been shown to positively impact communities that have embraced these technologies.  Blogs (online “journals”) and podcasts (audio recordings) have also been used successfully to provide educational information about topics such as home safety as well as drug and alcohol related issues.  Short YouTube videos are also an excellent way to provide educational information to the general public.

Social Networking Sites and Fraud Investigation

This seminar covered how the Internet can be used as an important source of information when conducting fraud examinations. Attendees developed an understanding of how to use social networks to aid investigations, legal issues concerning information obtained from the internet, optimization of investigative searches and find information available through public records. The seminar also provided examples of computer related fraud schemes and case studies to enhance understanding of material covered.
