his was Ng Siew Kwan’s response to the question,

“What is your personal motto?” Kwan, CFE, CIA, Senior

Manager of Corporate Investigations Group for Dow

Chemical in Singapore, was recently interviewed for an ACFE

member profile (see pg. 5 to read the full interview).

What do we do when nobody’s looking? Are we the same

person outside of our 9-5 role? It is apparent that most ACFE

members are like Kwan, striving to remain ethical inside and

outside of the office, with no attention paid to who is looking.

Kwan’s response is a perfect example of the character

anti-fraud professionals exhibit even when there are no specific

rules in place to address an ambiguous and fading line in the

sand, or as he puts it, “when nobody’s looking.” This is shown

in the lives many of our members lead outside of the office in

their “spare” time. They serve on the boards of local chapters;

they volunteer for committees and the ACFE Advisory Council;

and they go the extra mile to ensure the fight against fraud isn’t

restricted to normal business hours.

The opportunities for you to become more involved as

an anti-fraud professional, network with people from all over

the world, build your résumé, give a little back or just step

outside of your comfort zone by speaking at a local event are

out there and waiting for you. Here are a few ways you can

take your unique skill set beyond the cubicle:

Become active in your local acfe chapterInvolvement in an ACFE chapter can be much more than just

an inexpensive lunch. Not only does participation in a chapter

offer you the chance to earn CPE credits, network and devel-

op leadership skills, it also opens the door to opportunities for

members to have a positive effect in their communities.

One of our most inspiring stories highlighting the power of

an ACFE chapter is from a couple of years ago. The leader-

ship of the Spokane Chapter asked its members to participate

in the Justice for Fraud Victims Project. They worked with

graduate students from Gonzaga University, investigators

and prosecutors to review and submit cases the Assistant

U.S. Attorney’s Office did not have the manpower to inves-

tigate. Chapter members helped the students test theories

and prepare reports on their findings. They spent time with

or when nobody’s looking.”

the students reviewing books and records, and

ultimately, proving a white-collar crime to a jury.

After months of combing through state-

ments and bills, the students found that the

treasurer of a local Knights of Columbus

Chapter was writing checks to himself. Thanks

to the members of the Justice for Fraud Victims

Project, the people who may not have other-

wise had any prospect of recovering ill-gotten

gains received justice.

Jeff Kubiszyn, ACFE Chapter Program Manag-

er, summed this kind of achievement up nicely.

“It’s a rewarding experience when you see the

positive outcome of a local project, and it is one

of the reasons chapter involvement is a tremen-

dous benefit to ACFE membership.” Visit ACFE.

com/chapters to find a chapter near you.

Volunteer on an acfe committeeWithout committee volunteers many of the goals of

the ACFE would not be attainable. Through the Chapter

Awards, Higher Education, Membership Awards and

Scholarship Committees, the ACFE is able to acknowl-

edge the achievements, challenges and priorities of a

prospering and growing association.

Martha McVeigh, CFE, former ACFE Regent, served

on the Membership Awards Committee from 2005-

2009. Working with other CFEs, she reviewed nomina-

tions and selected winners for the annual awards that

are announced at the ACFE Global Fraud Conference.

“Reading these nominations was an eye-opening expe-

rience and showed me the remarkable achievements

and selfless acts of my fellow CFEs,” McVeigh said.

“My most memorable experiences were making the

professional contacts and friendships with other com-

mittee members. Serving on one of these committees

will bring you in contact with exceptional individuals

and introduce you to other CFEs. You have an opportu-

nity to honour your colleagues or chapter.”

mittee at ACFE.com/volunteer.

Join the acfe advisory councilWe wanted to create an easy and valuable way for

members, the true experts in fraud prevention and de-

tection, to provide us with their unique perspectives,

thoughts and ideas on ways we can better serve them

and the fraud-fighting community. So, in 2012, thanks

to the vision of James D. Ratley, CFE, ACFE President

and CEO, and John Gill, J.D., CFE, ACFE VP-Education,

the ACFE Advisory Council was created. Since then it

has grown to more than 650 members worldwide and

assisted the ACFE on important decisions regarding

the style and usability of ACFE.com; assisted in the

improvement of course materials like Auditing for In-

ternal Fraud and Health Care Fraud; and provided ideas

on how we can make our conferences and seminars

more beneficial for attendees.

Not only is this a way to provide candid feedback

regarding what you need as a member, but it is a prime

opportunity to build your résumé while helping to

shape future course materials, seminars and products

of the ACFE. Find more information and apply to join

the Advisory Council at ACFE.com/advisory.

Serving on one of these committees will bring

you in contact with ex-ceptional individuals and introduce you to other CFEs. You have an op-

portunity to honour your colleagues or chapter.

cfe’s advice: find a Mentor, stay educated Born and raised in singapore, ng siew kwan, cfe, cIa, moved to the U.S. for an education in finance, beginning a path that would lead him to a career in fraud examination. He currently serves as Senior Manager, Corporate Investigations Group for Dow Chemical in Singa-pore, where he investigates frauds in the Asia- Pacific region and India including asset misappro-priation, corruption schemes, theft of intellectual property and other issues.

did you always plan to pursue a career in fraud examination? No, in fact my interest in fraud examination took flight when I was an internal auditor. I was always cu-rious to follow up on some of the audit findings that were passed on to the Corporate Investigation Group for further investigations. I was fortunate that after six years with internal audit there was an opportunity for me to join the Corporate Investigations Group.

How did you become passionate about fighting fraud? I realised the importance of proper corporate gov-ernance and fighting fraud after seeing the effects and consequences of the collapses of Enron and WorldCom.

What has been most memorable about your career thus far? What has truly been indelible in following this career track has been working in remote locations in some

of the most developmentally challenged countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Gathering and coaxing information from strangers, investigating timelines, potential fraudulent events and piecing together a fraud jigsaw puzzle have often been highlights of my experiences thus far.

What career advice do you have for those just starting out in the fraud-fighting field? Identify a good mentor. Most fraud-fighting skills are honed and culled from broad exposure and ex-periences. It is important that young fraud-fighting professionals attach themselves to an experienced investigator. Keeping abreast of the technology available is imperative. One also needs to keep being educated in the “what,” “how” and “why” in which fraud is being committed. Being one or many steps ahead is always a powerful tool to arm oneself with to fight the ever-growing sophistication of fraudsters everywhere.

What activities or hobbies do you like to do outside of work? Online gaming and skiing. n

Beyond the cubicleWhether by speaking at local chapter lunches,

reviewing award nominations or ACFE materi-

als in the wee hours of the night or mentoring

an eager, entry-level new hire in your office,

ACFE members are going beyond the cubicle

to grow professionally, give back to an ev-

er-evolving industry and stay one step ahead

in a field that requires constant learning. We

know Kwan isn’t an anomaly in this industry.

A countless number of fraud fighters all over

the world are going the extra mile, especially

when no one is looking. n

or when nobody’s looking.”

Fraud Risk Management

The field of risk management has attracted in-

creased mainstream attention in the wake of the economic

meltdown as the public has begun to comprehend the neg-

ative effects of uncontained risk. Unfortunately, many risk

management professionals tend to underestimate the role

of fraud in the scope of their professional duties.

With organisations losing an estimated 5 percent of their

annual revenues to fraud, the need for a strong anti-fraud

stance and proactive, comprehensive approach to combat-

ing fraud is clear. As organisations increase their focus on

risk, they should take the opportunity to consider, enact and improve measures to detect, deter and prevent fraud.

This course will explain how organisations can integrate anti-fraud initiatives into their risk management programs to:

• Identify, assess and manage fraud risks from all sources

• Support fraud risk management initiatives by establishing an anti-fraud culture and promoting fraud awareness throughout the organisation

• Develop a system of internal controls to address the entity’s fraud risks

• Address and respond to any identified instances of fraud

organisation are following the rules?

International Fraud Awareness Week is 3-9 November 2013. With more than 800 supporters from all over the world, this grassroots campaign to raise fraud aware-ness provides unmatched opportunities to advance the fight against fraud.

It is free to sign up as an Official Supporter of Fraud Week, and the ACFE provides training tools and other resources to help organisations shine a spotlight on fraud. By educating employees about fraud and communicating the risk factors, red flags and other information, business owners and managers help set a “tone at the top” and send the message that fraud is a serious issue that will not be tolerated.

Each year, supporters host various activities during the week to help support the cause. Last year, for example, a two-day training conference presented by Franklin

University, National White Col-lar Crime Center, Ohio Ethics Commission, Ohio Inspector General, and Ohio Investigators Association drew more than 100 attendees and is slated to be held again this year.

Some organisations use the occasion to survey their employees to assess levels of fraud awareness within their organisation. One easy way for businesses and government agencies to spread the word is by including anti-fraud information in blogs, social media, e-newsletters and other communications.

inside the Fraudster’s MindUnderstanding the thoughts and feelings of a fraudster

can provide valuable insight to enhance an organisation’s

anti-fraud efforts. Knowing why fraudsters commit their

crimes can help you learn how to prevent fraud by ad-

dressing the circumstances that lead to it. Gaining insight

into the way perpetrators rationalise their actions can also

help you deter others from forming similar rationalisations

in the future. And possessing an understanding of the hu-

man element of fraud might give you an edge in gaining

an admission during an interview.

What you Will learn:

• The psychology of human behaviour

• The categories of perpetrators and how they are correlated to the reasons perpetrators commit crimes

• Common motivations for committing fraud

• Ten common critical thinking errors associated with unethical behaviour

• Popular rationalisations for committing fraud

• Ways organisations can use this information as an import-ant piece of the fraud-prevention-and-detection puzzle

The course was interesting and even after over 30 years as an in-vestigator I gained some new insights.”

Nina Blemmer

Your self-study courses offer a very cost-effective way to learn new topics and expand one’s skill as a CFE. I love the flexibility to study on my own time. With kids, work, home responsibilities, etc. that option is perfect.”

Anthony R. Coghlan, CFE Director, Finance Division, Freddie Mac

Helped me keep my mind sharp about the thinking process of a fraud committer.”

Practical ethics for Fraud examiners Course level: Basic | Prerequisite: none

In today’s business climate, ethics is more than simply taking the moral high road — it is a matter of self-preser-vation. Fraud examiners face many situations that require ethical reflection as part of their daily lives, and often there is no obvious line between right and wrong.

Consequently, you might find yourself on a slippery slope when it comes to determining the best course of action.

ethical theory for Fraud examinersCourse level: Basic | Prerequisite: none

As a fraud examiner, the decisions you make will be extremely important to your client or company as well as to the individuals you might be called upon to investigate. Therefore, Certified Fraud Examiners (CFEs) are held to a very high ethical standard. The material in this course is designed to aid CFEs by providing an explanation of ethics in general, as well as a discussion of several specific behavioural and ethical principles applicable to both organisations and individuals.
