Subject: Interviewing Essentials and Mindset of a Fraudster

 

Once a fraud scandal goes public, the “what, when, where and how” become a matter of public record. But what about the “why”? What drives these individuals to lie, cheat and swindle? Understanding the path a fraudster takes from employee to criminal can provide valuable insight that can help strengthen your anti-fraud initiatives and make your fraud examinations more successful.  Through discussions of human behavior, video interviews with convicted fraudsters and interactive problem-solving, you will gain a deeper understanding of motivations and personality traits common to many fraudsters.

Instructor Liseli Pennings was a Special Agent with the U.S. Treasury Inspector General's Office of Tax Administration (TIGTA) and previously a career Special Agent and Diplomat with the U.S. Department of State Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) with over 16 years of service as a Special Agent.  A subject matter expert in fraud investigations, physical security, and protective security, Ms. Pennings has been a law enforcement attache in both Europe and Latin America, a resident agent-in-charge in Texas, managed large teams' multi-million dollar budgets and contracts.
