General Session

- Looking for Fraud? Start with the Most Trusted Person: The Five Fraud Schemes That Accounting Professionals Commonly Overlook

Presented by:Robert Nordlander, CPA, CFE - Owner of Nordlander CPA, PLLC, Former IRS Criminal Investigator and Author

Fraud rarely starts with outsiders, complex schemes, or obvious red flags. More often, it begins with trusted employees, respected leaders, or long tenured insiders operating in environments where some controls exist, but skepticism quietly fades. This keynote challenges one of the most uncomfortable realities in accounting & auditing: the greatest fraud risks are usually closest to the people we trust the most.
