By Bethmara Kessler, CFE, CISA

When it comes to ethics, most companies want to do the right thing. While telling everyone in the organization to “always do the right thing” might seem like the easiest approach, building an ethical culture isn’t that simple. A key component of building an ethical culture is to build an effective ethics program, and it’s important to be mindful about why that’s not so simple.

The reality is that organizations are made up of people who have different experiences, biases and views that shape their thinking. It’s an ongoing dynamic challenge to keep each individual’s values completely in line with the com-pany’s values. To further understand this challenge, try this experiment:

Pick 25 random people from different generations, at different levels and in different roles in your business, and ask them these questions:

• “Is it okay for someone to take a few small office supplies home?”

• “Is it okay for people to check personal email, Facebook or Twitter accounts on company time?”

• “If you are out for a business dinner with a large group and your server takes really good care of you, is it reasonable to give them a 30 or 40 percent tip?”

What you’re bound to find is that the answers to these questions won’t always be clearly black and white, or easily answered with a “yes” or “no.” The variability of response and situational interpretation exponentially increases with the number of employees and geographic footprint of the company. Simply put, the people portion of values align-ment is what makes building an effective ethics program a challenge. Ultimately the goal should be to continually shape a positive culture around ethics and compliance.

Here are 10 tips on how you can do that:

1

Make it a priority. People must have a real belief that behaving ethically is an important value of their company. Treating the ethics program

as a “one and done” or “check the box” compliance activity with episodic touchpoints that do the same things over and over won’t work well. Be deliberate about finding ways to keep the tenets of an ethical culture visible in a way that is clear and shows employees that you really care.

2

Hire ethical people. It might sound obvious, but this is important. Work with your human resources partners to incorpo-

rate screening tactics that will help ensure that potential candidates are ethical. In addition to background checks and résumé verification, use the interview process to focus on how the candidate would handle ethical challenges and situational dilemmas.

3

Support your ethics program with great policies. A great policy is one that resonates with everyone

in the business, regardless of who they are or where they sit. It needs to be relatable and it should speak to people in the business’ unique language. Keep policies simple and make them easy to use. Don’t bury people in detail or present something that reads like a legal textbook. Be as clear and transparent as possible, avoiding the pitfalls of leaving too much open to interpretation. Remember that policies don’t need to be completely rules-based — great policies should help people make good decisions.

for Building an Effective Ethics Program

TIPS

Page 4: 27th Annual ACFE Global NEW! Developing an Integrated Anti ......Say what you will do and do what you say. If there are separate policies for people at different levels, be transparent

4

Hold people account-able for complying with policies. Say what you will do and

do what you say. If there are separate policies for people at different levels, be transparent with every-one about those differences. Otherwise employees might perceive that you’re not holding everyone ac-countable to the same standard. This will erode the ethical culture of the business over time.

5

Be aware of the global impact of your program. If your business has a global footprint, do

your homework to understand laws, cultural prac-tices and other nuances that could derail your pro-gram’s success. Tailor your program to the audience — don’t just translate what you use in your home country to local lan-guages. Engage local folks to build and tailor the program to ensure it will resonate with local employees.

6 Engage people in a way that has impact. Be creative, and develop fun and engaging ways to

bring the subject to life. Tell stories and cautionary tales in a way that will help shape people’s thinking. Have your staff submit ideas to open up an ongo-ing dialogue and help solve ethical dilemmas or challenges. Use expe-riential learning techniques such as role-playing and tabletop sim-ulations to foster a deeper under-standing of the company’s values and expectations. Pilot new ideas to get real feedback that can im-prove the impact of your program.

8

Create teachable moments. When something bad happens identify the root cause. Deter-mine whether someone needs coaching, a process needs

to be improved or a policy needs to be rewritten. Fix the underlying issues, and, in an appropriate way, use the lessons learned to teach others how to recognize or avoid similar situations in the future.

7

Open the door. Many businesses talk about having open-door policies, but sometimes those policies aren’t available to the people who need them the most.

Encourage open and honest communication to help employees ethically navigate the business. Don’t shoot the messenger — make people feel safe to come forward if they know something or see something that doesn’t seem to fall in line with the company’s ethi-cal values or standards. Actively publicize your hotline and encour-age people to come forward.

9

Be quick and decisive. The faster you act, the more credible your business and its commitment to doing the right thing. Implement protocols for investigations that clearly define the account-

abilities and processes that ensure a consistent and timely han-dling of issues. Make sure that people have a real belief and trust in the integrity of your investigative process even if the outcomes are not always publicly visible and clear to all.

Daniel Worrell, CFE, progressively and consciously grew his career from his first job out of college to his current position as the Director of Internal Controls at the New York State Metropolitan Transportation Authority. “My first exposure to the anti-fraud field was as an auditor for the New York Office of the State Comptroller,” says Worrell. “Solving or mitigating internal control weakness has been something that I enjoy. From that initial exposure, I have made sure that every job that I have held since has included some level of anti-fraud responsi-bility.” Here, he shares his tips to help his colleagues succeed in their careers whether they are in the beginning stages or seasoned professionals.

What is your current role and what does it entail?My current role is Director of Internal Controls for the New York State Met-ropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) with specific responsibilities for the MTA Capital Construction Company, which manages more than $15 billion in construction on behalf of MTA. My overall responsibilities include oversight of internal controls, integrity monitoring, construction fraud detection, ethics and compliance, policy development and vulnerability assessments.

What do you think contributed to your success?My success is driven by my professionalism and not taking things for granted. I’ve learned to be inquisitive by employing professional skepticism throughout my career. This has allowed others to view me as a business partner focused on improving organizational effectiveness, and not merely seeking issues for a report. This approach helped establish me as someone that you could call on to give an unbiased perspective with professional credibility.

What are the most rewarding aspects of your job?The most rewarding aspects of my job: 1) knowing the impact that the MTA has on the New York downstate region and 2) recognizing that I play a key role in combating fraud and waste within my organization.

I also enjoy that I am a business partner who is sought after as a leader in risk and controls implementation. In my role I work with independent integrity monitors who conduct investigations and monitor services on the MTA’s mega-projects. When the work identifies fraud and abuse and we are able to implement recom-mendations that benefit the MTA and its constituents, it is extremely gratifying.

Also, on a personal level, it is rewarding for me when leaders within my orga-nization seek my input to implement a new process or to review allegations of fraud and abuse. It means that they trust my judgment and see me as a business partner.

What are the best opportunities for someone entering into your career?Someone entering into this field should take full advantage of professional orga-nizations. These organizations provide networking opportunities with like-minded individuals who can provide mentoring opportunities to assist individuals along their career path. They can also provide a platform for developing the essential skills needed to succeed in the profession, expose you to potential employers in your field and they can enlighten you on different perspectives for being current and effective in the industry. I must say that had I not had these vehicles early on in my career, I would not know the sheer volume of opportunities available to me.

What do you wish you knew (but didn’t) when you first contem-plated this career?What I wish I knew, but didn’t, before I started my career was the importance of having a good network of people who know and support you, and can open many doors. Also, there is a fine line in influencing people so that they recog-nize your good work without being seen as a self-promoter. It’s an extremely challenging thing for me to speak about my achievements, even to this day. But I know that it is important to help people feel comfortable knowing that you are capable of performing the timely work with great results and that you can fit in with the team and culture. People have to feel comfortable with you; otherwise, it becomes a chore on both sides. Similarly, I learned very early on that doing good work without others knowing will get you only so far. I have found that when you don’t speak of your triumphs, they go unnoticed. Having a personable disposition where people can relate to you, want to work with you or even like you can create circumstances in which they want to see you excel, which can open opportunities.

When you are not working, what types of things do you enjoy doing?I enjoy spending time with my family when I am not working. I also enjoy spending my time as a Regional and National leader of the National Association of Black Accountants, Inc. (NABA). The organization’s motto is “Lifting As We Climb,” so I get a great deal of fulfillment in living this motto by helping the next generation of leaders to find their own path in their careers.

CFE Shares His Secrets to Success

Daniel Worrell, CFE Director of Internal Controls, New York State Metropolitan Transportation Authority

10 Find out how you’re doing. Don’t assume that all of your hard work is paying off. Always ask for suggestions for im-

provement. Does your organization think you’re being authen-tic? Do they think you’re speaking to them in ways they can relate? Do they believe that you say what you mean and mean

what you say? Is your ethics program driving their thinking and changing behaviors?

Your ethics program should be organic and always evolving. Use these 10 tips to get started or to improve processes already in place.

Bethmara Kessler, CFE, CISA, is Vice President of Corporate Audit

at Campbell Soup Company and an ACFE faculty member.

Conducting Internal Investigations A well-run internal investigation can enhance a company’s overall

well-being and can help detect the source of lost funds, identify respon-

sible parties and recover losses. It can also provide a defense to legal

charges by terminated or disgruntled employees. But perhaps most

importantly, an internal investigation will signal to other employees that

the company will not tolerate fraud.

This seminar will prepare you for every step of an internal investigation

into potential fraud, from receiving the initial allegation to testifying as a

witness. Learn to lead an internal investigation with accuracy and confi-

dence by gaining knowledge about various topics, such as relevant legal

aspects of internal investigations, using computers in an investigation,

collecting and analyzing internal and external information, interviewing

Fraud Week 2015Highlights of a Week Devoted to Raising Fraud Awareness

International Fraud Awareness Week proved to be another great oppor-tunity for fraud fighters around the world to show their support this past November.

There was strong support in state government — Governor Greg Abbott of Texas, Governor Pete Ricketts of

Nebraska and Governor Mark Dayton of Minnesota all issued official proclamations in support of the week.

Colleges got creative. The University of Central Florida hosted a screening of “Catch Me If You Can,” about conman Frank Abagnale, and the ACFE Purdue University Chapter held an anti-fraud seminar. Utica College waived application fees for their online fraud and financial crime degree programs, and held a complimentary webinar centered on ID theft and money laundering.

Fraud against the elderly was also tackled. Legacy Caring launched an anti-fraud video and Detective Rick Belik of the Omaha Police Department gave two senior fraud talks educating seniors about common scams and how to avoid them.

Companies stepped up and in a big way. Clorox offered their employees specific fraud-prevention training and Experian hosted a roundtable event to educate clients on preventive measures for businesses. Wessel & Company ran an article in the local newspa-per and trained staff on fraud detection techniques. SAS posted educational materials on social media each week while PriceWater-houseCoopers India set up kiosks at various regional offices — they distributed marketing collateral and hosted Q&A sessions. The executives and management at Hollard Group engaged in commu-nications and events to set the “tone at the top” with the staff, and Whistleblower Security Inc. wrote blog posts and distributed news-letters to educate the public about fraud prevention and detection.

The ACFE would like to thank everyone involved in such a success-ful International Fraud Awareness Week and give special recognition to our Featured Supporters: CRI Group, FGB, Mashreq and USAA for their involvement.

While it’s easy to think that with this much involvement, fraud will soon be a thing of the past, it’s important to remember that with each new piece of technology that emerges, fraudsters continue to evolve. Fraud Week is a great time to examine these risks, but fraud awareness is a year-round effort. Thank you again and we look forward to a host of new wonderful ideas to raise fraud awareness next year!

Detecting Fraud Through Vendor AuditsThe potential for fraud is not solely an internal threat; the businesses

that provide an organization with goods and services can engage in fraud-

ulent behavior as well. One of the ways to mitigate these external risks

is to establish a contractual right-to-audit in purchasing and other vendor

contracts. Auditing vendors and suppliers can be a critical fraud deterrent

and detection device for management to ensure they are being treated

equitably and are not victims of fraud.

Detecting Fraud Through Vendor Audits is a 1-day course designed to ex-

plain how to develop a solid foundation for vendor audits; how to identify

which vendors to target; how to prepare for a vendor audit; how to iden-

tify, gather and audit relevant vendor documentation; and what common

vendor fraud schemes to look for.

Contract and Procurement Fraud The rise in contract management and the outsourcing of goods and

services has created an increase in procurement fraud, which can occur

at any stage of the contracting and procurement process. Appropriate

controls, fraud prevention strategies and proper tendering processes are

necessary in the fight against this fraud. This 2-day course will teach you

the best practices for preventing, detecting and investigating contract

and procurement fraud.

Organizations can be defrauded through collusion among bidders,

between employers and contractors, and by sole procurement employ-

ees. Consequently, you need to be aware of the vulnerabilities and risks

associated with fraud schemes that attack the purchasing, procurement

and contract functions. Acquire the knowledge, skills and techniques you

need to prevent, detect and deter these devastating frauds.

You Will Learn How To:• Determine if a procurement

scheme violates legal statutes or civil laws

• Identify the red flags of bribery and corruption

• Recognize bid-rigging and market-allocation schemes

• Reduce the risk of vendor fraud

Controlling the Risk of Asset MisappropriationAsset misappropriations pose a risk to all organizations. According

to the ACFE’s 2014 Report to the Nations, these schemes are by far the

most common form of occupational fraud, accounting for 85 percent of

cases reported and resulting in a median loss of $130,000 per incidence.

By identifying areas of vulnerability and implementing targeted preventive

and detective measures, anti-fraud professionals can reduce the impact

these threats might have on their organizations.

Learn how to stay a step ahead of this form of employee fraud with the

2-day ACFE seminar, Controlling the Risk of Asset Misappropriation. This

training course will help you assess your organization’s risk of asset mis-

appropriation and will provide best practices for deterring and identifying

Developing an Integrated Anti-Fraud, Compliance and Ethics ProgramTone at the top can set a precedent for an ethical corporate culture, but a

formal ethics program provides a clear framework for the organization’s

expectations, policies and potential consequences. While compliance

and ethics are the foundation of such programs, the pervasive threat of

fraud makes it critical to also integrate fraud-focused initiatives into the

program, including anti-fraud and whistleblower policies.

Learn best practices for creating an effective compliance and ethics

program that incorporates anti-fraud measures. This 2-day course will ex-

plore the essential steps your organization needs to take in developing a

program that will effectively foster ethical behavior, promote compliance

and deter fraudulent activities by your employees.

Mortgage FraudIn the most recent Financial Crimes Report to the Public, the FBI states

that “the continuing deterioration of the real estate market and the dra-

matic rise in mortgage delinquencies and foreclosures helped fuel the

financial crisis of 2009 and exposed fraudulent practices that were preva-

lent throughout the mortgage industry.” Compounding the problem, as the

FBI notes, is that “a high percentage of mortgage fraud involves collusion

by industry insiders, such as appraisers, mortgage brokers, attorneys, loan

originators, and other professionals engaged in the industry.”

To help combat this financial plague, fraud examiners must be knowl-

edgeable of the process, players and potential scheme types prevalent

in the mortgage environment. This 2-day course will help you learn to

identify the warning signs of mortgage fraud, and will provide you with

practical approaches to preventing, detecting and investigating such

schemes. Don’t miss this opportunity to get the best training to fight this

Tracing and Recovering Fraud LossesA conviction or civil judgment in a fraud case is a victory, but where

does it leave the victim? Recovering fraud losses is critical to resolving

the examination — and it is often complex due to fraud’s inherently

clandestine nature. Fraud examiners must be prepared to deal with the

strategic, organizational, investigative and legal challenges of tracing and

recovering the hidden proceeds of fraud.

From tax filings to Facebook, there is a wealth of tools that you can use

to trace illicit funds and recover hidden assets. This 2-day ACFE training

course provides an overview of the resources, legal considerations and

techniques to prepare for and conduct an asset recovery examination.

Putting a Case Together: $1.4 Million Expense Reimbursement Fraud, a Forensic Accountant and the FBICPE Credit: 4In the ACFE’s first ever two-part webinar, a questionable signature on an expense reimbursement led a public-

ly traded company to call for a more in-depth look at internal controls. This fraud examiner discovered that the

signature was only the beginning of what would become a $1.4 million expense reimbursement fraud. Learn how

collaborating with the client, their internal and external counsel, and the FBI led to the culmination of an indictment

within three weeks of the issuance of the report and a guilty plea less than five months after the questionable

signature was discovered.
