Heard in the Halls: Women in the Anti-Fraud Profession

"Having the first women's networking event is a huge step forward into our century for the ACFE. More and more we need to identify and support the women that are in the anti-fraud profession, specifically an industry that once was comprised of all men. In some countries women are still climbing their way into this industry, and as women of the ACFE, we need to support them." — Leah D. Lane, CFE, Chair of the ACFE's Board of Regents

"I'm deeply involved in the data analytics aspect of our internal audit function, so coming here I'm learning ways I can develop our data analytics program from an audit perspective and a fraud perspective. Ways we can best utilize what we already know, how we can best train others on how to go out into the field and apply a lot of these techniques. I've learned a lot so far; there's a great depth of knowledge and it's just been awesome." — Joseph Gause, Lead Auditor, GM Financial

Heard in the Halls: Diverse Sessions Provide a Wealth of Knowledge

"I'm looking forward to this session on body language because all of the other sessions I'm going to are very textbook, but this session I don't think you can learn from a textbook. I think you really need to hear from someone who has that experience and exposure to it. So I'm really excited to be able to learn firsthand from someone who can read body language, who can tell you what those red flags are and what certain signals mean." — Patti Buck-Torrey, CFE, Manager of Internal Controls, FedEx Ground

"What I'm really looking forward to this year is the work we're going to be learning about in international markets.

So we're really excited to start learning about fraud in other countries and how that impacts us as we expand globally. I feel like that has been a big driver in why I wanted to attend this year." — Samantha Weeks, CFE, Business Risk Analyst, Southwest Airlines

"The session I'm looking forward to is the one on the criminal. It's interesting understanding why they did what they did, the thought process they went through and why they thought they might be able to get away with it. And even if they got caught, why wasn't the consequence enough to keep them from engaging in the act in the first place?" — Stacy Brown-Johnson, CFE, Director, Kikivarakis & Co., Nassau, Bahamas
