DESCRIPTION:The Chicago Metro Chapter invites you to join them for a fraud/
 forensics mystery workshop and luncheon on Wednesday\, October 18\, 2023 a
 t the Village of Arlington Heights Police Department. \nPart 1:  A strong 
 system of internal controls not only deters fraud but also supports greate
 r efficiency and legal compliance within the local government business fun
 ction. This seminar identifies types and common methods of employee dishon
 esty\, the role of the external auditor to detect fraud\, and the personal
 ity of a fraudster. The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) syste
 m is discussed and the all-important concept of separation of duties is pr
 esented in a practical\, easy to apply context.  And because fraud can and
  will happen\, the appropriate way to handle the shock and resulting inves
 tigation is outlined. \nPart 2:  You will often be put in a leadership rol
 e in an investigation. The difference between a successful investigation a
 nd a failed opportunity is often the mindset of the leader. This session i
 dentifies and develops the abductive reasoning applied by a skilled invest
 igator which is necessary to solve a financial puzzle or suspected inciden
 t of fraud. To illustrate the difference between an audit mindset and abdu
 ctive reasoning\, the participants will visit a staged crime scene and sol
 ve the murder by “following the evidence”. While making a serious point wi
 th real professional application\, this session is both fun and thought pr
 ovoking. \nLearning Objectives:  Participants completing this session will
  be able to:\n\nBecome conversant with the who\, when\, what\, why and how
  of fraud and employee dishonesty in government\;\nDefine internal control
