August Discussion Groups

Santa Barbara CPA Discussion Group: Private Morality and Public Consequences
Don’t miss this event when Chris Hamilton will discuss three cases of financial fraud that demonstrate the impact of very “private” lapses of ethics and morality that had very profound consequences.  These range from a case right out of the current news to a case in a small private company.  In each case the financial fraud resulted in penalties for the person who committed the fraud but also resulted in ramifications far beyond what could have been expected.  The stories are very interesting but, more importantly, provide lessons in how every fraud starts small.  We will end by reviewing the simple steps that, if taken early on, can detect or prevent fraud.
