Once found, was it fraud or just a dumb mistake? The fraudster will always say it s a dumb mistake. How do you prove otherwise? 10:20 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. (B01) Walkin, Talkin, Lookin and Listenin or Things That Most Auditors Don t Do Well 12:00-1:00 p.m. Lunch This session is designed to get the auditor the THINK rather than to follow the audit workprogram.

In almost every case, there were numerous indications of fraud that were either ignored or not recognized by the auditor. The ACFE s 2012 Report to the Nations on Occupational Fraud and Abuse reported that only 3.3% of frauds were discovered by the independent auditor. During this presentation the importance of maintaining professional skepticism at all times; knowing your client; how to recognize an unusual transaction; how to elicit information without asking a question; and two main indicators of fraud will be stressed.
