Description

This real-life case study, drawn from the files of the Texas Rangers, explores a $2 million procurement fraud and embezzlement scheme at a major public university. Presented by a former Fraud Analyst with the Texas Rangers (now Training Director with the ACFE), the session will cover:

• How the fraud was orchestrated, the key players, and how it was eventually uncovered.
• How a weak control environment created conditions ripe for fraud, waste, and abuse.
• Behavioral red flags exhibited by the perpetrator that went unnoticed by management. 

This case study is relevant to professionals across multiple sectors, including fraud investigators, auditors, forensic accountants, compliance officers, risk managers, and anyone responsible for detecting and preventing fraud.
