Heard in the Halls: Looking Forward After Pre-Conference Sessions

“Right now I couldn’t be better — I just won the raffle for the free CFE Exam Prep Course so that will make the planning for the test easier now. I’m looking forward to the [Shades of Green: The Rise of ESG Fraud panel]. When that one popped up on the schedule my manager said ‘you have to attend that’ so I’m super excited, not only because of my company, but also that’s such a hot topic.” — Carlos Barboza,  Compliance Consultant, Votorantim SA

“I’m absolutely enjoying my first year here. I’ve already been meeting people from international chapters and networking. I’m also looking forward to the panel session on ESG fraud and then hearing about terrorist threat financing and money laundering.” — Wayne Sherland, Fraud and Financial Crime Associate, Grant Thornton

“I would say I’m excited to expand my knowledge. I just recently finished my course for the ACFE, so I’m about to take my test soon. I’m on the insurance side [of the industry] and it’s fun to hear from other people. This is a phenomenal place to meet people from different careers and sectors, and I was happy to meet John Gill and Jason in person after going through the course online.” — Kimberly Pascucelli, Senior Compliance Analyst, Knights of Columbus

“I enjoyed Bret Hood’s session on how to stay ethical. You know even we need that lession and we do need to listen. You will really be surprised with some of the things Bret said and some things that we may do that are unethical unbeknownst to us.” — Dr. Shenika Hudson, Assistant Vice Chancellor, University of Tennessee Health Science Center
