Governmental entities are the second-largest victims of embezzlement. This seminar examines recent events involving the theft of public money and the circumstances that allowed the fraud to occur.

The events that impacted the small Illinois town of 16,000 residents was the largest governmental fraud case to date and spanned an astonishing 20 years. This remarkable story inspired an award-winning documentary, “All the Queen’s Horses.” We will also be examining the factors that led to the scandals involving the Baptist Foundation of Arizona, World Com, Collin Street Bakery, and the Ohio American Cancer Society, among others. This course is ideal for CPAs, government finance personnel, all Internal Auditors, lawyers, governance professionals, accountants, and human resource personnel. Field of Study: Behavioral Ethics
