Schneider Downs is proud to once again support the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) as it recognizes International Fraud Awareness Week.
We have a long and established role in the fraud investigation and awareness field. We have performed numerous investigations over the years, and we sponsor the annual Fraud and Corruption Awareness Seminar each year. Our Business Advisory group includes several Certified Fraud Examiners (CFE) as well as board members and leadership personnel for the Greater Pittsburgh and Central Ohio (Columbus) Chapters of the ACFE.
This past year, we were fortunate to have John Warren, Chief Executive Officer of the ACFE and co-author of the ACFE’s Occupational Fraud 2024: A Report to the Nations (Report to the Nations), join us for our 12th annual ACFE Fraud and Corruption Awareness Seminar. One of the most powerful quotes he shared in the foreword of the Report to the Nations was:
“These crimes are a threat to every type of organization in all industries in every region throughout the world. The fact that occupational fraud remains so common and so costly is a stark reminder that the work we do as CFEs is vitally important. We are the ones tasked with preventing, detecting, and investigating these crimes that cause so much harm to so many people and organizations.”
In recognition of Fraud Week, a few of the CFEs in our group have written Our Thoughts On articles highlighting some of the important topics addressed in the Report to the Nations, which is the largest global study on occupational fraud.
While Fraud Week may only be featured once a year, the professionals in our Business Advisory group work year-round with our clients to detect, assess and prevent fraud. Check out our Schneider Downs Business Advisory LinkedIn page throughout the week for additional information from the ACFE. If you have any questions or concerns about fraud in your organization, please contact our team.
