TRAINING AND AWARENESS

An organisation should continually strive to help employees know how the hotline reporting program works, why the organisa-tion believes in it, who operates it and why it’s a critical part of the compliance culture. Organisations 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 organisation’s intranet or external website. An organisation 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 organisations with a hotline, only 30% of cases were detected by tip in organisations without a hotline.

Leadership should care about cultivating tips because doing so allows the organisation to take steps to stop the fraud and mitigate the losses. At organisations 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, organisations 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, Global Anticorruption and Fraud Manager at Schlumberger, spoke about the challenges hotlines face at last year’s ACFE Global Fraud Conference. 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 organisa-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 organisation’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 organisation 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.

From Public Sector to Private Sector to Heading Up His Own Firm: One CFE’s Journey

Paul Hurrell, CFE, has enjoyed a long and varied career in the anti-fraud field. He began in the public sector, serving in the New Zealand Police before making a switch to the private sector. Now the head of his own firm, Hurrell Global Risk, he is thriving in the ever-evolving landscape of interna-tional client services. “What I enjoy are the opportunities it has given me to meet people in different locations, areas of business or countries I may not have met otherwise,” he said. “I work on engage-ments that use my skills in areas I had not even thought of — some not related to fraud or crime at all. Also, those I assumed would be competitors have become associates and mentors, generously imparting their experience and knowledge.”

What is one of the biggest lessons you have learned since becoming a CFE? With fraud, I (and I assume all my peers) am continually receiving life lessons. When you think you have seen it all, a fraud or corruption risk comes along that changes that view. For me it is important to keep an open mind as to the fraud scenario that is, or may be, playing out. Different frauds may appear the same on the surface, but the way the offender has perpetrated their version of the fraud and their rationali-sation is a very subjective thing.

What steps led you to start your own firm? Working in my own fraud risk and investigations company is something I contemplated for some years — I just needed a final push. Stepping away from the corporate paycheck was scary, exhilarating and a massive learning curve, all in one.

I have formed an association with Australian data analytics company Analytics in Motion, as well as a London-based company that specialise in deep web searching. With a large fraud risk network, I often find that if I can’t help a client, I know someone who can — it’s all about the swings and roundabouts in life.

What unique challenges do you face working with a variety of clients? Some of the challenges that we face situated in the Ocea-nia, Asia-Pacific region relate mostly to cultural expectations and time zones. Having created, and working within, a small enterprise network of fraud and investigations specialists, we offer clients a range of services and capabilities in various parts of the globe, with various languages in normally harder to reach or developing regions.

You have experience both in the public and private sectors. Was there a sizable transition you had to make to switch over? Do you have any advice for those looking to go from one side to the other?I moved directly from the police into corporate work and was lucky enough to be mentored by some great managers. I have always said when hiring investigators that, in general, it takes a couple of years for the policeman to leave the corpo-rate investigator, and that was true for myself too. The major difference for me between public and private is of course

whose interests you are employed to protect — as well as the amount of money available to do so. Both have politics which you need to navigate and both can be rewarding in very different ways.

What is a memorable case or project that you have worked on, one that made you feel especially proud?It’s hard to identify just one. Like children, they make you feel proud for different reasons. One that stands out, mainly be-cause we identified it soon after commencing work in a large corporation, was a case of a worker who had stolen just under USD 1 million in six months. From that scenario we developed fraud analytics testing and found three historical and three other current frauds happening in the same company using similar systems.

When it came time for this person to be sentenced, the lawyer wanted us to agree that they could return to work at the same company, to enable them to reimburse the money to the company each month. I worked out the math and said I would consider putting it to the management, if the lawyer provided me with proof that the person would live to 147 years of age — which is how long it would have taken that person to repay the stolen amount without any interest being applied.

What activities or hobbies do you like to do outside of work? I have been involved in volunteer firefighting in New Zealand and Australia for more than 20 years. I rose to be chief of a rural fire department before stepping down due to work commitments. I am also a keen photographer of landscapes and animals in their natural habitat. I received recognition in a competition for a photo I took in Colombia of a colourful lizard, which is now used on my company marketing material. I’m currently intrigued by the various forms that rust and oxidisation in general take on old railway wagons and bridges. But with grandkids hav-ing arrived, and more on the way, my time will take on a new direction.

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.

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 founder and Chairman Dr. Joseph T. Wells, CFE, CPA, to grow the association to the largest anti-fraud organisation 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 an email to all ACFE members in February. Former Vice President and Program Director Bruce Dorris, J.D., CFE, CPA, replaced Ratley and serves as the organisation’s Pres-ident 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 Louisi-ana focusing on white-collar offenses. “When Jim and I began your association, we recognised 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 recognised his lifelong achievements and contributions to the anti-fraud profession.

CFEs Elect 3 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.
