Financial crimes have been a perplexing aspect of human behavior for centuries. The burning question remains: Why do individuals continue to engage in activities they know are ethically wrong?
The Edwin Dodd Distinguished Lecture Series presents “Fool Me Once: How Good Employees Often Rationalize Bad Decisions” event on Thursday, Oct. 26, from 4:30 to 6 p.m., hosted at the John B. and Lillian E. Neff College of Business and Innovation’s Savage and Associates Business Learning Complex Room 1200.
Dr. Kelly Richmond Pope is author of “Fool Me Once: Scams, Stories, and Secrets from the Trillion Dollar Fraud Industry.”
Featuring renowned educator, forensic accountant and filmmaker, Dr. Kelly Richmond Pope, the event will explore the intriguing connection between ethical lapses and financial fraud.
Drawing from her extensive research and her latest book, “Fool Me Once: Scams, Stories, and Secrets from the Trillion Dollar Fraud Industry,” Pope will offer personal insights gleaned from in-depth conversations with white-collar offenders, whistleblowers and victims of fraud.
Pope will dissect the fraud triangle, a fundamental concept in understanding financial crimes, and will highlight practical approaches to identifying and preventing financial misconduct.
The event is open to the public, and no RSVP is required. Following the lecture, a reception will be held to facilitate further discussion and networking opportunities.
