Learning Objective

  • To discuss how to prepare for an investigation.
  • To recall how to review paper and electronic handling procedures.

  • To discuss the characteristics of a quality investigative report that can be used in court.

Course Overview

Embezzlement happens often to many small businesses. Unfortunately, the lack of internal controls allows the embezzlement to remain undetected for years. But when it is discovered, the small business owner will most likely contact their CPA for advice.

The major questions that come here are:

  • What should you do when your client contacts you about their employee embezzling money from their business?
  • What options should you present to your client?
  • How can your client protect themselves, while investigating the embezzlement?
  • What steps need to be taken about preserving any documents, emails, texts, or phone calls?

This CPE course by Robert Nordlander teaches how to engage the client, properly identify the evidence needed to prove the crime, how to write the report for a civil and criminal trial and best practices for preserving electronic and paper evidence.

The major topics covered in this CPE Fraud & Forensic Course include:

  • A step-by-step process from the initial client phone call to you writing a report of your findings for any civil or criminal actions that may be pursued
  • How to advise your client in approaching an allegation of embezzlement
  • What pitfalls may arise in finding the truth
  • The best practices to ensure that the evidence is preserved properly for potential civil or criminal actions

Debra Helberg, CPA (US)

This was a great course to further my knowledge into the Forensic Accounting profession. The main instructor was really good at presenting. He went at a good pace. The instructor for the digital investigation related content spoke too fast. It is important for learning that the instructor speak at a good pace - not too fast.
