Dynamic Keynote Presentations The ACFE’s Annual Fraud Conference hosts the foremost experts in the anti-fraud field. These leaders in their fields share their insights and address the key anti-fraud issues. This year’s conference is no exception. The 2009 lineup of keynote speakers is a diverse group of influential leaders and practitioners that will both inform and inspire you. Michael Chertoff 2nd U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security In his previous capacity as a federal prosecutor, Michael Chertoff co-authored the USA Patriot Act, served as the lead prosecutor in the “Crazy Eddie” Antar securities fraud case and led the government investigation of Enron and its accounting firm, Arthur Anderson. A leader and statesman, Chertoff came to the job of 2nd Secretary of Homeland Security with a background heavy with experience in fighting terrorism and white-collar crime, having served as the head of the Justice Department’s criminal division in the months after 9/11.

Harry Markopolos, CFE, CFA Fraud Investigator and Madoff Securities Whistleblower Harry Markopolos is an expert in financial derivatives mathematics and, prior to becoming a full-time fraud examiner, he was Chief Investment Officer for a Boston-based, multi-billion dollar derivatives asset management firm. Mr. Markopolos has risen to prominence as the “Madoff whistleblower” for his persistence in shedding light on Bernard Madoff’s alleged $50 billion Ponzi scheme. Beginning in May 2000, Mr. Markopolos regularly submitted detailed documentation to the Securities & Exchange Commission regarding the scheme. He was ignored and the fraud was allowed to reach epic proportions. He recently testified to the House Financial Services Committee on the breakdown within the SEC.

James H. Freis, Jr., J.D. Director, Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) As Director of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network and administrator of the Bank Secrecy Act, James Freis oversees the implementation of policies to detect and prevent money laundering and terrorist financing, as well as support the law enforcement, regulatory and intelligence communities through the sharing and analysis of financial intelligence. Before his appointment he served in the Treasury Department as Deputy Assistant General Counsel for Enforcement and Intelligence, providing legal support to the Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence. Prior to the Treasury, he served as Senior Counsel in the Legal Service of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) in Basel, Switzerland, where he supported the banking, risk control, and compliance departments in providing financial services to central banks and international organizations for management of monetary reserves.

Robert Rudloff, Jr., CFE, CIA Vice President of Internal Audit, MGM MIRAGE A 27-year veteran of the gaming industry, Bob Rudloff is a recognized leader in the internal auditing profession and a frequent speaker on internal auditing, fraud and gaming industry topics at local and national conferences and seminars. Prior to joining MGM MIRAGE, he was Director of Internal Audit Services with PricewaterhouseCoopers serving diverse clients such as Starbucks Coffee Company, Overture Services, Gemstar-TV Guide, Hypercom, Hyatt Gaming and the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians. Mr. Rudloff will discuss the ethical failures of organizations, the indicators that were present, and how to develop a stronger ethical culture in an organization.

Aaron Beam Convicted Fraudster & Former HealthSouth Chief Financial Officer In 1984, Richard Scrushy and Aaron Beam co-founded HealthSouth, a provider of outpatient surgery and rehabilitative services that would go on to become the nation’s largest company of its kind, with annual revenues exceeding $3.5 billion. After years of record growth, the company fell just short of expectations in 1996 and Scrushy ordered the books to be fixed. Mr. Beam complied and, anguished and guilt-ridden, resigned from the company a year later. When the scheme, which had continued for nearly 10 years, unraveled in 2005, Beam pleaded guilty to bank fraud in what became a $2.6 billion accounting scandal. He served only three months in federal prison in return for his testimony against former HealthSouth Chief Executive Officer Richard Scrushy. Please note: The ACFE does not compensate convicted fraudsters to speak at conference events.

Pre-conference workshops are a great way to kick-start your ACFE Fraud Conference experience and will give you the tools to gain the professional edge you need.

Make plans to arrive early and take advantage of one of these timely offerings.

Fraud Prevention in Difficult Economic Times

The Fraud Examiner as an Expert Witness

When the economy is in a slump, organizations are forced to cut back. Unfortunately, decreased salaries and fewer employees provide increased motive and opportunity to commit fraud. In this pre-conference session, you will learn how to get the most for your fraud prevention dollars. We will review the most common areas of vulnerability to occupational fraud, how to re-assess your organization’s risk of fraud and how to prevent and detect fraud with fewer resources.

Meet an expert witness who will describe how he prepares to develop and ready his case for going to either criminal or civil court or both. Meet the attorney who takes that case to a jury. Then watch the two experts together for an interactive mock testimony which will be both informative and perhaps, at times, combative as our two instructors give examples of what can occur in a deposition or trial of a fraud case.

CPE Credit: 4 Course Level: Basic | Prerequisite: None

What You Will Learn How cutbacks effect an organization’s fraud risk What fraud trends are currently emerging Reassessing your fraud risk factors How is your company more vulnerable to fraud How to prevent fraud with a limited budget Stretching your fraud prevention resources Course Leader: Gerard Zack, CFE, CPA, ACFE Fellow President, Zack Accounting & Consulting, P.C.

CPE Credit: 4 Course Level: Basic | Prerequisite: None

Whether you have investigated fraud or simply played the role of consultant, as a fraud examiner you will be routinely called upon to opine on your fraud report or that of another expert. This pre-conference seminar will give you insight on the pitfalls of expert testimony, and ways to combat attacks by opposing counsel, as well as other helpful tips. You will gain a legal understanding of the role of the fraud expert in court, and be better prepared for your day on the stand. What You Will Learn Improving your testifying skills as an expert witness Understanding what materials are discoverable to opposing counsel Protecting privileged information from discovery Understanding the legal issues concerning work product, depositions and court testimony Course Leaders: D. Bruce Dorris, J.D., CFE, CPA, CVA Program Director, ACFE Frank Wisehart, CFE, CPA, CVA President, Wisehart & Wisehart, Inc.
