ociety is excellent at collect-

ing data. Companies are doc-

umenting and gathering in-

formation on every move you

make, from computer surfing

to buying gas. They use this

data to analyze customers, trends, spending

habits and anything else you can imagine. It’s

hard to believe there was a time when compa-

nies knew very little about what anyone was do-

ing, allowing fraudsters free range.

However, with the advent of computers,

companies can now store massive amounts of

information, aka “big data.” Auditors quickly dis-

covered, though, that big data was very difficult

to sample statistically. Programmers stepped

in to develop software to sample the data. The

people examining the data then realized that big

data could be used to uncover outliers of fraud.

Data analytics software became a tool that fraud

examiners could use to find these outliers and

therefore uncover possible fraudulent activity,

from insider trading to global corruption. With-

out data analytics, this data would remain buried

under the sheer volume of information.

Jean-François Legault, CFE, CISM, CISSP,

assistant director of Global High Tech Investi-

gations for JP Morgan Chase, addressed data

analytics in his Fraud Magazine article, “Fraud Ana-

lytics: Taking Your Data to the Next Level,” available

online exclusively to ACFE members. He pointed out,

“The goal of fraud analytics isn’t only to detect and

identify fraudulent behavior but to determine the or-

igin of anomalies and determine why and how they

exist. For example, an insurance company doesn’t

have time to review its thousands of claims, so it

might analyze some at random. But it could be more

successful in finding fraud if it identified and reviewed

the claims that were most at risk based on

historical trends and patterns.”

Legault outlined five common

categories for fraud analytic

approaches:

1. Rule-based: Detect

fraudulent trans-

actions based on

known behaviors.

2. Anomaly

detection: Identify

aggregate ab-

normal patterns

that don’t conform

to established normal

behaviors.

3. Predictive modeling: Statistical

analysis of current and historical data to

assess future behavior.

4. Neural networks: Unsupervised learning

based on historical data for the purpose of

identifying unknown patterns.

5. Visual analytics: Graphical representation of

relationships found within data.

“The field is constantly evolving,” says Allan Bach-

man, CFE, ACFE Education Manager. “Fraud exam-

iners are now conducting other types of analysis

beyond financial statements to such areas as textual

analytics, which sorts text-based data sources such

as email, in order to include all the information pass-

ing through an organization.

“When it comes to data analytics, you can always

learn more,” he adds.

Vincent Walden, CFE, CPA, CITP, a partner at

Ernst & Young, covered textual analytics

in his Pre-Conference session, “Inte-

grating Advanced Data Analytics

to Identify Rogue Employee

Behavior,” during the 24th

Annual ACFE Global Fraud

Conference last June.

“With ever-mounting data

and legislative require-

ments, companies are

looking for ways to in-

corporate analytics to sift

through the mountains of

data collected during the nor-

mal course of business,” he said.

“By incorporating forensic data analyt-

ics, investigators can query 100 percent of the

data through a series of tests or filters.”

The ACFE is perpetually advancing and expanding

its educational offerings to keep fraud examiners in

step with data analytics. It has lengthened its top-rat-

ed Using Data Analytics to Detect Fraud (see pg. 24)

course to two days. It now covers:

• How to formulate an overarching methodology for

building a data analytics program

• The most common techniques, such as duplicate

testing and matching

• Benford’s Law analysis, regression analysis and

reasonableness testing

• Non-traditional tests that identify the red flags of

fraud, such as textual and visual analytics

• Specific tests to uncover fraud schemes within

accounts payable, cash disbursements, payroll,

expense reimbursement, theft of incoming cash

receipts and of inventory

• Detecting corruption

No other course provides such a comprehensive educa-

tion on data analytics, but the ACFE hasn’t stopped there.

For the first time it’s offering an entire track dedicated ex-

clusively to data analytics at the 25th Annual ACFE Global

Fraud Conference. “Working Smarter and Harder with Big

Data” will feature eight sessions packed with informa-

tion on how to use data analytics to prevent, detect and

deter fraud. In addition, Mark Nigrini will teach a Pre-

Conference session on Benford’s Law, a key subset of data

analytics.

The ACFE also has developed a brand-new online self-

study course, Data Analysis Techniques for Fraud Exam-

iners (see pg. 50). Through interactive examples, you will

learn how to perform a variety of tests and, most impor-

tantly, interpret the results.

As companies gather more and more information about

their customers, employees and activities, they need fraud

examiners to sift through massive amounts of data. The

ACFE is the source you need so you can test and analyze

the data to uncover anomalies and ultimately detect, deter

and prevent fraud. n

Dora Gomez, CFE, a native New Yorker, began an early passion for travel, thanks to her parents, and was even a DJ for four years during college. But it was Gomez’s pas-sion for fighting fraud that led her to her current position as Global Fraud Officer at AXA Tech. Gomez investigates whistleblower reports and fraud in the company, conducts anti-fraud training for employees and is a member of AXA Tech’s corporate Compliance, Risk, and Security team. “Working to make sure we stay aligned with a strong ethi-cal culture is fundamental and my priority,” Gomez said.

Where were you born and raised? I was born in Brooklyn, New York, a first-generation Amer-ican to Ecuadorian parents. I grew up in a multicultural neighborhood, which taught me to build friendships with people of other ethnicities. I also learned to love an array of international foods, which I appreciate to this day. At heart, I am still a true New Yorker.

How did you become passionate about fighting fraud? I think I always had the “bug” inside of me to fight fraud. When I worked in public accounting and internal audit I was exposed to some cases of fraud and learned how to spot the signs of fraud. It’s vital for the company to have strong ethical principles where employees feel empowered to speak up when something seems wrong. It’s not just about the company’s reputation, it’s also about working for a company we feel proud to be a part of.

What is your personal motto?

Take risks in life, be confident, and don’t underestimate yourself.

I learned that during an expat assignment in Paris. Not only was it an eye open-er to learn how the company functioned at the headquarter level, but I also learned about the French culture and those of other European countries. I overcame obstacles (not speaking French, making new friends, working with new colleagues, etc.) but tackled them and learned from that experience. The only con-stants that I brought with me were my two small dogs … that also learned to bark in French!

What do you consider your greatest achievement to date? I don’t know if I can actually name one great achievement. I think I did pretty well in my career and personal life for a middle-class ‘kid’ from Brooklyn. Let’s face it, being a minority and a woman has its challenges and tackling them requires persistence and determination. I have overcome many obstacles in life (both personal and work related), and I am proud and happy with the person I am today. n

Fraud Week: Supporters Carry the MessageEvery year in November, organizations around the world dedicate a week to fraud awareness. Through communica-tions with employees, training events, social media postings and other activities, they help shine a light on this global problem while promoting fraud prevention and detection.

Established by the ACFE, International Fraud Awareness Week (“Fraud Week,” for short) saw its list of Official Supporters grow to more than 900 organizations in 2013. Among the Fraud Week 2013 highlights:

• There were many international participants: The ACFE Greece Chapter hosted its Fraud Prevention Forum 2013; PwC Cyprus, in collaboration with the Cyprus Police, hosted an economic crime confer-ence; in France, BNP Paribas hosted online training and a conference; and Canon China, a new support-er this year, promoted fraud awareness and compli-ance to its employees.

• There were training opportunities in the U.S.: For the second year in a row, more than 100 people attended the seminar “Targeting Fraud – Safeguard-ing Integrity,” a collaboration between Franklin University, National White Collar Crime Center, Ohio Ethics Commission, Ohio Inspector General and Ohio Investigators Association; Exactech Forensics, LLC, hosted a luncheon with the ACFE Utah Chapter to share ideas with delegates on strategies to prevent and detect fraud.

• Universities participated: Georgia Southern Univer-sity’s Center for Forensic Studies in Accounting and Business distributed anti-fraud information across campus, and Pennsylvania’s Carlow University promoted fraud awareness in all accounting courses during Fraud Week.

• Government recognition: For the second year in a row, Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman joined the ACFE Heartland Chapter in declaring November 3-10 International Fraud Awareness Week in Nebraska.

The ACFE would like to thank all of the Fraud Week supporters for making this campaign a success in 2013. n

This is a high-impact, must-take course for those individuals preparing for the CFE Exam.

The ACFE Houston Chapter held its first-ever Fraud Con-ference October 10-11 at the Hess Club in Houston. The conference drew more than 150 attendees including ACFE members from as far away as Canada, Georgia and Arizo-na. The chapter used several members of the highly rated ACFE faculty as speakers for the event. “With the great speakers, we knew we’d draw in the attendees,” said chap-ter member and Conference Chairman Kent Dixon, CFE.

The chapter also hosted a networking reception on the first night of the event that was open to conference at-tendees and all chapter members. “It was a great success for us,” Chapter President Ryan Hubbs, CFE, said of the event. “We made a good chunk of funds which will help us on many initiatives in 2014.”

The ACFE Utah Chapter held its Second Biennial White-Collar Crime Conference October 17-18 and wel-comed more than 140 attendees. Utah Chapter Training Director Antonio Pooe, CFE, said the event saw a slight uptick in attendees from the first event held two years ago, including an increase in attendees who do not hold the CFE credential. “This is a good sign of the growing interest in our local chapter,” Pooe said.

Pooe said the successful conference fueled increased attendance at the chapter’s November luncheon and Utah

Governor Gary Herbert’s declaration of International Fraud Awareness Week at the event helped boost the participation of local businesses in Fraud Week. Herbert also gave a presentation on the importance of fraud education.

During the same time on the other side of the world in Tokyo, ACFE Japan held its Fourth Annual Fraud Confer-ence October 18. More than 250 anti-fraud professionals attended the event centered around, “Standing Up Against Accounting Fraud.” Some of the specific topics included identifying accounting fraud from a journalist’s perspec-tive and how the Certified Fraud Examiner credential is beneficial for attorneys and CPAs. Kiyotaka Kujyo, a former AIJ Investment Advisors employee, took attendees “Inside the AIJ Fraud Scandal” with his keynote presenta-tion on the fraud. n

Fraud Risk Management

The field of risk management has attracted

increased mainstream attention in the wake of the economic

meltdown as the public has begun to comprehend the negative

effects of uncontained risk. Unfortunately, many risk manage-

ment professionals tend to underestimate the role of fraud in

the scope of their professional duties.

With organizations losing an estimated 5 percent of their an-

nual revenues to fraud, the need for a strong anti-fraud stance

and proactive, comprehensive approach to combating fraud is

clear. As organizations increase their focus on risk, they should

take the opportunity to consider, enact and improve measures

to detect, deter and prevent fraud. This course will explain how

organizations can integrate anti-fraud initiatives into their risk

management programs to:

• Identify, assess and manage fraud risks from all sources

• Support fraud risk management initiatives by establishing an anti-fraud culture and promoting fraud awareness throughout the organization

• Develop a system of internal controls to address the entity’s fraud risks

• Address and respond to any identified instances of fraud

You Will Learn How To:• Identify fraud risks and the factors that influence them

• Analyze existing risk management frameworks and how they pertain to managing fraud risk

• Develop and implement the necessary components of a successful fraud risk management program

• Identify the elements of a strong ethical corporate culture

• Promote fraud awareness to employees at all levels of the organization

Fraud-Related Compliance

Managing anti-fraud compliance obligations

for companies can be a daunting task. Anti-fraud laws and

regulations often impose monitoring, auditing, collecting and

reporting requirements on regulated entities. And often, reg-

ulated entities must coordinate such efforts into a variety of

fraud-prevention plans. Moreover, when anti-fraud regulations

change, fraud examiners must be ready to implement any new

requirements to ensure their companies remain in compliance.

This course will explain how national and international laws and

regulations apply to your business, and how to ensure compli-

ance with industry practices and anti-fraud laws and regulations.

You Will Learn How To:• Identify fraud risks and the factors that influence them

• Analyze existing risk management frameworks and how they pertain to managing fraud risk

Detecting Fraud Through Vendor Audits

the potential for fraud is not solely an internal

threat; the businesses that provide an organization with goods

and services can engage in fraudulent behavior as well. One of

the ways to mitigate these external risks is to establish a con-

tractual right-to-audit in purchasing and other vendor contracts.

Auditing vendors and suppliers can be a critical deterrent and

detection device for companies to ensure they are being treat-

ed equitably and are not victims of fraud.

Discover best practices and valuable tips to protect your or-

ganization from fraud perpetrated by vendors. In this one-day

ACFE training course, you will learn how to develop a solid

foundation for vendor audits, how to identify which vendors to target and what common fraud schemes to look for.

Controlling the Risk of Asset Misappropriation

asset misappropriations pose a universal risk to

all organizations. According to the ACFE’s 2012 Report to the

Nations, these schemes are by far the most common form of

occupational fraud, accounting for 87 percent of cases report-

ed and resulting in a median loss of $120,000 per incidence.

By identifying areas of vulnerability and implementing target-

ed preventive and detective measures, anti-fraud profession-

als can reduce the impact these threats might have on their

organizations.

Learn how to stay a step ahead of this form of employee fraud with the two-day ACFE seminar, Controlling the Risk of

Asset Misappropriation. This training course will help you assess your organization’s risk of asset misappropriation and

will provide best practices for deterring and identifying the costly theft or misuse of company resources.

Mortgage Fraud

In the most recent Financial Crimes Report to the

Public, the FBI states that “the continuing deterioration of the

real estate market and the dramatic rise in mortgage delinquen-

cies and foreclosures helped fuel the financial crisis of 2009

and exposed fraudulent practices that were prevalent through-

out the mortgage industry.” Compounding the problem, the FBI

notes, is that “a high percentage of mortgage fraud involves

collusion by industry insiders, such as appraisers, mortgage

brokers, attorneys, loan originators, and other professionals

engaged in the industry.”

To help combat this financial plague, fraud examiners must be knowledgeable of the process, players and potential

scheme types prevalent in the mortgage environment. This two-day course will help you learn to identify the warning

signs of mortgage fraud, and will provide you with practical approaches to preventing, detecting and investigating

such schemes. Don’t miss this opportunity to get the best training to fight this growing threat to businesses and

the economy.

types of mortgage fraud

Conducting Effective Background ChecksCourse Level: Basic | Prerequisite: none

A frequent misconception about background checks is that there exists a huge, centralized data filing facility that stores every piece of information the government has ever collected on every person. In truth, information is often incomplete and fragmented between different agencies and non-governmental organizations. Some-times the data available is simply unreliable. This online self-study course will help you make sense of these issues by reviewing the fundamentals of performing background checks, exploring the various types of back-ground checks and the purposes of each, and address-ing the legal considerations to take into account when performing a background check.

aCFe Bookstore Staff pick: 2014 Fraud examiners ManualThe ACFE Bookstore offers hundreds of resources including books and manuals, self-study CPE courses, the CFE Exam Prep Course, merchandise and more. In this in-terview, Amy Scott, CFE, the ACFE Research department’s CFE Exam Program Manager,

offers her suggestion on one must-have ACFE resource to help you in your fight against fraud.

What is your professional background and current role at the ACFE? My background is in educational publishing. I worked at various publishing companies and development houses before joining the ACFE as an editor in the Research De-partment. I am currently the CFE Exam Program Manager and am in charge of overseeing the development of the CFE Exam itself and its accompanying study materials.

What ACFE bookstore product would you recommend as a beneficial resource to CFEs? The Fraud Examiners Manual is my recommendation for the ultimate go-to resource for CFEs.

Why would CFEs be interested in this product? I believe the Fraud Examiners Manual is the most compre-hensive and informative product the ACFE offers. It covers all facets of a fraud examination, from gathering informa-tion and interviewing suspects to the legal considerations that influence both how a case is conducted and its

outcome. The manual not only provides individuals with the complex body of knowledge that they need to succeed on the CFE Exam, but also serves as an ongoing source of information regarding the logistics and red flags of fraud schemes, best practices for handling and preserving evi-dence, best methods for analyzing data, laws under which a case can be prosecuted, and countless other elements essential to a successful investigation.

How is the information in this product useful for CFEs in their professional roles? There are inevitably new challenges and obstacles with every case that a CFE takes on, and the Fraud Examiners Manual is an excellent resource for areas of fraud ex-amination with which CFEs lack familiarity. Whether an individual has just entered the fraud examination field or has been a practicing CFE for years, the Fraud Examiners Manual offers the practical guidance necessary to effec-tively prevent and detect fraud. The manual even contains sample forms, reports, and checklists that can help fraud examiners ensure that they set both themselves and their organizations up for success and comply with the field’s best practices. The Fraud Examiners Manual is an essen-tial reference tool in a CFE’s arsenal and can be consulted time and time again.
