Heard in the Halls: The Must-Attend Event of the Year

"I'm deeply involved in the data analytics aspect of our internal audit function, so coming here I'm learning ways I can develop our data analytics program from an audit perspective and a fraud perspective. Ways we can best utilize what we already know, how we can best train others on how to go out into the field and apply a lot of these techniques. I've learned a lot so far; there's a great depth of knowledge and it's just been awesome." — Joseph Gause, Lead Auditor, GM Financial

I feel like that has been a big driver in why I wanted to attend this year." — Samantha Weeks, CFE, Business Risk Analyst, Southwest Airlines

"The session I'm looking forward to is the one on the criminal. It's interesting understanding why they did what they did, the thought process they went through and why they thought they might be able to get away with it. And even if they got caught, why wasn't the consequence enough to keep them from engaging in the act in the first place?" — Stacy Brown-Johnson, CFE, Director, Kikivarakis & Co., Nassau, Bahamas
