Fraud and Forensic Accounting in Turnaround Assignments

Date: June 28, 2011

Time: 11:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m., Lunch promptly at noon.

Enron, WorldCom, Adelphia…corporate entities that are no more due to unscrupulous practices of their chief executives. Is there a consistent pattern of behavior in accounting and finance that creates corporate environments ripe to be ripped off? How can a white collar crime bring down a company…is it the same no matter the size of the entity…big or small?
Please join us for what promises to be a great afternoon of lessons of dos and don’ts in business.

In this don’t miss session presented by TMA of Nevada, seasoned fraud buster, Craig L. Greene, CPA/CFF, CFE, MCJ discusses the use of forensic accountants when fraud is suspected in a turnaround assignment. Greene will focus on:

1. The profile of the Typical Fraudster and the signs to look for,

2. Common Fraud Schemes in the Accounting Records of a distressed company, and

3. Effective use of the Forensic Accountant in rooting out the frauds.

Highly entertaining, Greene uses real cases from his over 35 years of experience as a forensic accountant and auditor to illustrate the points in his presentations.

Panelist:
