Fraud Summit Back on Campus for 2023
The Center for Internal Auditing Excellence at the Naveen Jindal School of Management hosted its annual premier event, the Fraud Summit, back on campus for the first time since prior to the global pandemic.
The 18th Annual Fraud Summit, held March 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, highlighted the importance of fraud detection and prevention. Featured speakers at the event included an SEC Panel, Traci Brown, and Craig Stanland.
Traci Brown is a body language expert and a leader in training people to build their bottom line by detecting deception. Brown has been a frequent guest on TV interpreting the body language of criminals and politicians. In her keynote, Traci taught the lie, fraud, and identity theft detection skills that she has used to get to the truth in billion-dollar business deals, crimes, and politics.
Craig Stanland is a Reinvention Architect & Mindset Coach, TEDx speaker, and best-selling author. In 2012, Stanland made a choice that would cost him everything. After exploiting the warranty policy of one of the largest tech companies in the world for nearly a year, the FBI finally knocked on his door. Stanland was arrested and sentenced to 2 years of Federal Prison, followed by 3 years of Supervised Release, and ordered to pay $834,307 in restitution. Stanland’s keynote not only highlighted how he went about engineering his scheme; but, more importantly, the many steps towards redemption that he had to endure.
In addition to Brown and Stanland, the conference included a panel discussion led by Joseph Atatsi, Senior Regulator with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The panel, featuring Daniel Tetteh, Director General of the Securities and Exchange Commission of Ghana and Wyckliffe Shamiah, Chief Executive of the Capital Markets Authority in Kenya, focused on securities fraud and industry trends from an African perspective.
