ften within the interviewing process,
the concept of gaining compliance is
thought of as being singularly direct-
ed at the doer of the wrongful deed.
But, that is not always the case. Many times, the
people who are on the periphery of an inquiry —
neutral third parties, for example — may be less
than enthusiastic to fully cooperate with you, the
interviewer. Whether the unwilling interviewee is
the target of the inquiry, a possible co-conspirator
or something else, your task remains the same —
transition the individual from the “unwilling chair”
to the “willing chair.”
I worked on a case a few years ago that serves as
a prime example of the value of obtaining third-par-
ty information in order to break a case. As part of
a series of interviews related to an internal theft, I
interviewed someone whom the organization highly
suspected was the culprit. Into the interview, and af-
ter the application of a series of questions to assess
the individual’s veracity, my perception was that
this person was not the guilty party. However, I did
think he knew information that related to the case.
While my goal of gaining compliance remained the
same, my focus shifted from endeavoring to obtain
an admission of guilt to gaining cooperation.

I asked him how long he had worked for the com-
pany, how they had treated him and his perception
of the loyalty that the company had afforded him. I
ascertained that he felt strongly that the company had
been very loyal to him. At that point, I implemented a
series of specific, formulated questions, guiding him
to contemplate his responsibility to reciprocate that
loyalty back to the organization. My goal was to have
his loyalty to the company take precedence over his
loyalty to his associate, whom he suspected was the
thief. I asked him:
“A loyal employee is going to do what is in the best
interest of the company, isn’t he?” He answered in the
affirmative.
“Isn’t it true that if a loyal employee had informa-
tion about this situation, he would feel a sense of
obligation to share it?” Once more, he answered in
the affirmative.
Finally, I asked him, “What is it you know that I
need to know?”
After a period of silence, he looked down at the table,
took a deep breath, patted the table twice with his
right hand, looked me in the eye and said, “Well, there
is one thing.” “Tell me the one thing,” I responded.
And there we had it. He had transitioned from unwill-
ing to willing. While he had not done anything wrong,
he was holding back — deception by concealment.
The default setting for a conflicted mind tends to
be, “No.” Consequently, an interviewer with compli-
ance-gaining responsibilities must continue to rely on
his working tools — questions. When the interviewer
tells the interviewee something, cognition tends to
diminish. When an interviewer poses a question, cog-
nition is activated.

that I applied in the above scenario and that will help
you, the fraud fighter, in your own interviewing:
• Assessment questions assist the interviewer in
evaluating of the interviewee’s veracity.
• The application of questions specifically formulat-
ed to gain cooperation enables the interviewer to
identify barriers and gain compliance.
• A working knowledge of all of the questioning
formulations addressed in the course allows the
interviewer to make an informed decision as to
what to ask, how to ask and when to ask.
• Knowing the various forms of deception, and the
symptoms thereof, allows the interviewer to ap-
ply appropriate questioning formulations, assess
the verbal, vocal and nonverbal responses of the interviewee,
and proceed accordingly.

Keys to Success: Be Vigilant, Find a Mentor
Britany Finnegan, CFE, is a mortgage fraud specialist
for Capital One in McLean, Virginia. She shared some
of her advice for being successful and effective in fight-
ing fraud. One of her secrets: Find a strong mentor.
How did you get started in your line of work?
My journey began in Florida as a receptionist for a British
vacation rental company from which I transferred to the
mortgage division. I was excited, but little did I know the
bubble would burst in the mortgage industry soon after.
After a year, like many, I was forced to look for work and
found myself employed within the field of quality assur-
ance, until the company closed its doors due to the eco-
nomic downturn. This was a blessing in disguise, as it led
me to JPMorgan Chase. There I was able to expand my
knowledge and experience in the mortgage fraud divi-
sion. After a few years, I was approached by an executive
recruiter working on behalf of Capital One. Excited for the
opportunity, I immediately accepted a position as a Fraud
Examiner II for them. It was Capital One who encouraged
me to obtain my Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) credential.
What are some of your day-to-day responsibilities in your role?
Currently, I review closed mortgage loans that have ei-
ther been referred to our department or fit a scope for
possible suspicious
activity. If any suspi-
cious activity is deter-
mined, a Suspicious
Activity Report (SAR) is
filed and all corporate
requirements are met.
Which types of cases (or subjects) are the most interesting to you, personally?
Any new types of trends — it just amazes me what
some individuals come up with and the time and effort
put into committing fraud. I also enjoy the challenge of
putting together all the pieces that help identify the full
scope of all involved in the fraud.
What advice do you have for other fraud examiners who would follow in your footsteps?
Simply put, seek a mentor. One of my current men-
tors advised me to always be on the lookout for
someone who you feel comfortable with that will
share their knowledge and experiences. Knowl-
edge is priceless and so is the wise advice mentors
share. It’s your desire that will make this happen;
desire transcends everything, which will produce
fabulous results. n

Getting StartedStrong Foundations for an Anti-Fraud Education
Looking for a good place to start your anti-fraud
education? Build your skillset on a foundation of
strong fundamentals. These ACFE resources will
improve your fraud-fighting skills and
prepare you for more advanced training:
Understanding the Basics of Fraud ExaminationThis self-study course
provides an overview
of the fraud examination process and explains the
core concepts of fraud examination. This is the
perfect introduction for new and aspiring
anti-fraud professionals.
$59 Members / $79 Non-Members
Principles of Fraud ExaminationGet a comprehensive
overview of fraud
prevention, detection
and deterrence with
this 3½-day, instructor-led course. Explore the four
fundamental areas of fraud examination: Financial
Transactions and Fraud Schemes, Fraud Prevention
and Deterrence, Investigation and Law (pg. 18).
Corporate Fraud HandbookThe Corporate Fraud
Handbook, written by ACFE

explores the three main
categories of occupational
fraud and abuse — asset misappropriation, corrup-
tion and fraudulent statements — and identifies
and classifies 13 different schemes. This classic
book, now in its fourth edition, is a cornerstone of
the anti-fraud profession’s body of knowledge.

Investigator Enjoys Unraveling Fraud CasesMaria Kress, CFE, serves as an investigator with the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) for the Los Angeles Unified School District. From watching crime dramas on television and becoming an under-cover store detective, to her current role unraveling fraud cases using investi-gative skills, surveillance and other means, Kress has found a fulfilling career in the fight against fraud.
What led you to this line of work? I have always had an inquisitive mind and enjoyed figuring out ‘whodunit’ while watching the crime drama shows growing up. The process of putting the pieces of the puzzle together and following the paper trail intrigues me and captures my interest. So, it’s no surprise that I ended up in the investigations industry. My career began 23 years ago when I was hired as an undercover store detective at a major retailer.
Did a certain type of investigation really draw you in? Internal investigations have always been very interesting to me. I enjoy the process of reviewing and interpreting data from exception reports, discovering areas of vulner-ability and highlighting patterns of irregularities. Then, tracking and mapping out the employees that had the opportunity to cause the defalcation, setting up surveil-lance, documenting the incidents, narrowing down the field of suspects and finally interviewing the suspect. That, of course, is the best-case scenario.
What advice do you have for other fraud examiners who would follow in your footsteps? This industry is fascinating; ever-changing, ever-growing. I would advise fraud examiners to expand their experience and knowledge to related areas (and sometimes, not-so-related areas) to gain a well-rounded understanding of the vastness and different types of fraud.
Do you have any hobbies or interests outside of your anti-fraud work? I really enjoy traveling internationally. I love the whole process of researching and planning the trip almost as much as I like the actual vacation! I recently toured Switzerland; highlights were Wengen, Montreux and Lucerne (so beautiful!). Past destinations include Ire-land, Scotland, England, France, Italy, Germany, Austria and Japan. n

Fraud Week 2014: Help Spread the Word
International Fraud Awareness Week is November 16-22, 2014, and organiza-
tions are already gearing up for the week’s activities. While prevention and detection are undoubtedly year-round endeavors, Fraud Week provides a special opportunity to raise awareness worldwide and
spread the word that the best way to counter fraud is with a proactive,
rather than reactive, approach.
There is no cost to be an Official Supporter of Fraud Week, and it’s easy to sign up on FraudWeek.com. Official Supporters have access to free resources online, including white papers, PowerPoint presentations, podcasts and videos.
Among these resources is a new, printable handout that provides quick tips on preventing and detecting fraud. Ideal for sharing with clients and colleagues, these tips include:
1. Be Proactive. Adopt a code of ethics for manage-ment and employees. Evaluate your internal controls for effectiveness and identify areas of the business that are vulnerable to fraud.
2. Establish Hiring Procedures. Conduct thorough background investigations. Check educational, credit and employment history (as permitted by law), as well as references.
3. Train Employees in Fraud Prevention. Do workers know the warning signs of fraud? Ensure that staff members know basic fraud prevention techniques.
4. Implement a Fraud Hotline. Fraud is still most likely to be detected by a tip. Providing an anonymous reporting system for your employees, contractors and clients will help uncover more fraud.
5. Increase the Perception of Detection. Communicate regularly to staff about anti-fraud policies, ways to report suspicions of misconduct and the potential consequences (including termination and prosecution) of fraudulent behavior.
Such advice is “old hat” for most fraud examiners. But for many business leaders — especially small busi-ness owners — fraud is still a threat, and any guidance to help them counter it is valuable. Most of all, such discussions keep them thinking about fraud, which leads to more efforts to detect and prevent it. That is, after all, what Fraud Week is all about. n

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 responsible parties and

importantly, an internal investigation will signal to other em-
ployees 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 confidence by gaining knowl-
edge about various topics, such as relevant legal aspects of internal investigations, using computers in an investi-
gation, collecting and analyzing internal and external information, interviewing witnesses and writing reports.

might have on their organizations.

actions can also help you deter others from forming similar
rationalizations in the future. And possessing an understanding

gaining an admission during an interview.

• Categorize common critical thinking errors associated with unethical behavior

ACFE Bookstore Staff Pick: Inside the Fraudster’s Mind
The ACFE Bookstore offers hundreds of resources including books and manuals, self-study CPE courses, the CFE Exam Prep Course, merchandise and more. In this interview, Andi McNeal, CFE, CPA, ACFE Research Director, offers her suggestion on one must-have ACFE resource to help you in your fight against fraud.
What is your professional background and current role at the ACFE?My background is in public accounting. I worked for a small, regional CPA firm doing tax and audit work before joining the ACFE. I am currently the Director of Research for the ACFE; in this role, I oversee the development and produc-tion of the ACFE’s educational materials and publications.
What ACFE bookstore product would you recommend as a beneficial resource to CFEs?Inside the Fraudster’s Mind, a workbook and video self-study course, explores the psychological and criminologi-cal aspects of fraud.
Why would CFEs be interested in this product?Determining why fraudsters undertake their schemes is the foundation of effectively combating fraud. From the outside, fraud perpetrators look just like everyone else. But identifying and understanding their unique thinking patterns provides insight that is invaluable for fraud pre-vention, detection and investigation. Inside the Fraudster’s Mind analyzes real fraud cases and uses video footage of convicted fraudsters to illustrate the human elements that are at the heart of these crimes.
How is the information in this product useful for CFEs in their professional roles?No matter what professional role a CFE is in, an under-standing of the psychological factors that lead to fraud is a crucial part of being successful at his or her job. This knowledge assists CFEs in developing and imple-menting ethics and compliance programs, conducting fraud awareness training, assessing and evaluating fraud
risks, analyzing potential red flags, conducting interviews and identifying deception. Understanding the mindset and motives behind white-collar crimes and incorporating this perspective into all anti-fraud initiatives will help CFEs more effectively prevent, detect and investigate fraud.
