OVERVIEW

11 2

TRAINING AND AWARENESS

An organization should continually strive to help employees know how the hotline reporting program works, why the organiza-tion believes in it, who operates it and why it’s a critical part of the compliance culture. Organizations should include frequently asked questions (FAQs) and answers regard-ing the hotline in all employee new-hire and supervisor training.

ONGOING COMMUNICATION AND ACCESSIBILITY Communication about a hotline-reporting pro-gram, recent compliance issues and messages from management should be routine and common-place. Information on a hotline program and how to report a concern should be within one click of the organization’s intranet or external website. An organization should communicate program information in as many languages as necessary to provide coverage.

Are fraud reporting hotlines worth it? Yes, according to the ACFE’s Report to the Nations, a biennial global study on occupational fraud.

For more than a decade, the ACFE’s Report to the Na-tions has measured the effect of hotlines on generating tips about occupational fraud, and the data has consistently shown that frauds are more likely to be detected by tip when a hotline is in place. While 46% of cases in the report were detected by tip at organizations with a hotline, only 30% of cases were detected by tip in organizations without a hotline.

Leadership should care about cultivating tips because doing so allows the organization to take steps to stop the fraud and mitigate the losses. At organizations without ho-tlines, frauds were more than twice as likely to be discov-ered by accident, and over three times more likely to be discovered by external audit. The upshot is that, according

to the report, frauds detected by tip tend to be discovered more quickly and cause less damage than those detected by accident or external audit. By implementing and promot-ing a hotline, organizations are both gaining an investiga-tive resource and improving the bottom line.

Just because you build it, though, doesn’t mean they will come. Setting up a hotline is only the first step in ensuring your company receives the information it needs to prevent and detect fraud. ACFE Regent Ryan Hubbs, CFE, CIA, CCEP, CCSA, and Global Anticorruption and Fraud Manager at Schlumberger, spoke about the chal-lenges hotlines face at last year’s ACFE Global Fraud Con-ference. He offered up these suggestions to build trust in your hotline program:

Hubbs suggested that companies should build and model a repetitive habit. If one person calls a hotline and expe-riences the ideal scenario of reporting a concern or irregularity, then that will become habit, and others will follow suit. The herd will actually lead the way for a positive habit, a habit that could stop fraud in its tracks.

You can find out even more about hotlines in the ACFE’s 2018 Report to the Nations on Occupational Fraud and Abuse, coming out soon. Visit ACFE.com/RTTN for the latest updates.

3 4 5TRANSPARENCY

Prominently display your organiza-tion’s hotline-reporting and investi-gation process, including the exper-tise and contact information of your trained investigators, what employees should expect, plus the organization’s responsibilities to cooperate and pro-tect against retaliation.

PROFICIENCY AND OBJECTIVITY

Those who manage the hotline and inves-tigation processes should be technically proficient, professional, well trained and experienced in handling reporting of con-cerns. The organization should also install adequate systems, processes and technolo-gies to support the investigators and, ulti-mately, the employees.

ASSESSMENT

Ongoing assessments should in-clude analyses of how employees view the program, independent reviews conducted by internal au-dit or external professionals and disclosure of all complaints and resolutions with external auditors.

Jump-Start Your Fraud Examination Career With Internships and Study Abroad Programs

Before beginning his career in bank examination, and later internal audit, Jacob Flournoy wishes he would have done more of one thing: listening. “I was probably told everything I needed to succeed by my trusted advisors. I just wish I had listened more to their advice,” said Flournoy, a CFE and the Chief Audit Executive at the University of Arkansas System. In addition to listening more, he encourages young professionals to find internships and take advantage of many schools’ study abroad

programs. “During my college days there were not as many internships and study abroad programs avail-able, and the ones that existed were not as well funded as they are today,” he said. “The programs that exist now provide amazing experiences and contacts for young professionals seeking to start their careers.”

Where were you born and raised? I was born in Odessa, Texas, and lived there until my senior year in high school when my family moved to the Dallas-Fort Worth area. My father, who had worked in public accounting for a number of years, accepted a controller’s job with an oil company in the North Texas area.

What are the most important skills you have learned throughout your career?In addition to becoming an expert in areas of fraud examina-tion, accounting and financial reporting, data analytics and IT auditing, the most important skill sets I have developed are in the areas of communication, supervision and collaboration. Effective verbal and written communications skills are vital to the success of any fraud examination, and are used in conducting interviews, developing clear and concise reports and presenting results. Effective supervision skills include the ability to mentor and coach team members. And in today’s work environment, another critical skill is the ability to work in collaboration with multigenerational and multicultural teams to achieve the goals of the examination.

What value do you see in mentorship, and what advice do you have for someone looking for a mentor?I have been very fortunate to have mentors over my career. The best mentorships are a two-way relationship. If you want leaders to take the time to mentor you, they have to first see value in your work. Once you have gained their trust and respect for the quality of your work, they will take the time to share with you invaluable advice and counsel for meeting your life goals.

How do you think your CFE credential has helped you in your role?From the first time I participated in an ACFE event, I realized that I had met an elite group of individuals dedicated to fighting fraud. I wanted to be a part of this group and learn what they knew about conducting fraud examinations. Over time, I have watched the CFE credential become a respected credential worldwide, based on the quality of the program and the quality of the work performed by CFEs.

How does fighting fraud at a university differ from investigating or examining fraud at a firm or corporation?There are a lot of similarities related to fraud examinations in a public university setting, but there are also some differ-ences. There is generally a much lower tolerance level for fraud when public funds are involved. As a result, we accept lower materiality levels than a corporation would accept when deciding how many resources to assign to a specific fraud investigation. Another difference concerns freedom of information. All of my fraud cases are subject to freedom of information laws and usually will be disclosed at some point in the public domain, in accordance with those laws.

One other difference is that university systems, on the whole, are large enough to have in-house legal counsel and law enforcement departments. The larger police forces usually have a criminal investigator on staff. Having access to these resources can really help in getting local and state prosecu-tors interested in taking on a white-collar crime or fraud case.

What is a memorable case or project that you have worked on — one that made you feel especially proud? I have worked on a great number of fraud cases over the years and several of them have been memorable for a variety of reasons. I believe as a group, though, the ones that I am most proud of have come from calls/tips through the phone and online hotlines. There is something very satisfying in helping a true whistleblower resolve an ongoing fraudu-lent situation. Often their concerns have been rebuffed, stonewalled or ignored, sometimes for years. Then one day, they have the courage to contact the hotline and we move forward with stopping the fraud, recovering the funds and assisting law enforcement in bringing the perpetrators to justice. When that happens, you know you have earned your pay as a CFE and it is a good day!

What activities or hobbies do you like to do outside of work? My spouse and I are avid readers. She prefers mysteries and novels, while I prefer biographies, history and international policy. As a result, we both like traveling as a hobby because our travels give us a more in-depth understanding of the peo-ple, customs, cultures, societies and locations we read about.

Ryan C. Hubbs, CFE, CIA, CCEP, is the global anticorruption and fraud manager at Schlumberger Limited, an oilfield ser-vices company. For more than 16 years, he has conducted international corporate investigations and forensic audits for numerous companies within the energy sector. His areas of expertise have focused around third-party fraud and corrup-tion, and how shell companies are used in bypassing internal controls.

Tony Prior, MBA, CFE, has a fraud risk management and financial crime career spanning more than 20 years. He’s the founder and current president of the ACFE Sydney Chapter. A CFE since 2001, he has both professional services consulting and corporate in-house experience.

Elizabeth Simon, CFE, CPA, is the director of ethics and compliance for Cox Communications Inc. She is responsible for managing the ethics hotline and overseeing ethics-related investigations, conducting compliance risk assessments, and ensuring that Cox is complying with the laws and regulations relevant to the company. She also oversees the company’s Records & Information Management Program and leads other compliance-related projects.

ACFE NEWS

Fellow CFEs elected the new regents from a list of nine candidates selected by the ACFE Nominations Committee. The Board of Regents is responsible for setting membership standards that promote professionalism and ensure the future of the organization as a whole. Hubbs, Prior and Simon took office at the Board’s meeting in February at ACFE headquarters in Austin, Texas.

Longtime ACFE President Retires; New President and CEO NamedIn March, President James D. Ratley, CFE, officially retired on his 30th anniversary with the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE). Ratley helped ACFE’s founder and Chairman Dr. Joseph T. Wells, CFE, CPA, to grow the association to the largest anti-fraud organization in the world. He will be greatly missed as an instructor and leader, but will remain a legendary contributor to the global fight against fraud. “Simply put, there would be no Association of Certified Fraud Examiners without James D. Ratley,” said Dr. Wells in a letter to all ACFE members in February. Former Vice President and Program Director Bruce Dorris, J.D., CFE, CPA, has replaced Ratley and serve as the organization’s President and CEO. In addition to being a CFE, Dorris is both a

lawyer and certified public accountant in Texas and Louisiana. Prior to joining the ACFE, Dorris served as a criminal prosecutor in Louisiana focusing on white-collar offenses. “When Jim and I began your association, we recognized that it was our duty to ensure the ACFE would live on after us,” Wells said. “Just as I assured you of our strength during my own retirement four years ago, we’ve worked to make certain that our manage-ment ranks are strong, experienced and dedicated.” A retirement celebration was held for President Emeritus Ratley at the ACFE headquarters in Austin, Texas, where staff recognized his lifelong achievements and contributions to the anti-fraud profession.

CFEs Elect Three New RegentsThe ACFE is proud to announce that Ryan Hubbs, CFE, CIA, CCEP; Tony Prior, MBA, CFE; and Elizabeth Simon, CFE, CPA, have been elected to the 2018-2019 ACFE Board of Regents.
