Session 1 - About the Topic and Speaker (6 Hours)

The first session (6 hours) will feature David Debenham, a trial lawyer with over 30 years of experience. In historical dramas, the auditor wore a green visor, and the investigator a deerstalker hat, connoting their very different roles at the time. The role of the modern auditor, both internal and external, has "morphed" from simply conducting random sample testing and reporting on irregularities, to something more, sometimes much more.When does auditing or investigating for irregularities amount to a criminal investigation of one or more suspects?Why does it matter? What do you do when it does? This seminar seeks to answers these questions, and many more.

David Debeham, JD, CPA, has a Masters in each of Law, Forensic Accounting, and Science (majoring in Fraud & Forensics), He is uniquely qualified amongst practitioners to explain the forensic roles of the modern auditor and investigator. He is also a Certified Fraud Examiner, who has spoken on a variety of topics at the ACFE Global Conference and a number of ACFE Chapter events.
