I’m late to the game
Just found this podcast - and am happy to have so much listening to do.
I love the real life examples/case studies of seemingly upstanding people committing fraud. Gotta keep your radar up when you’re running a business.
Poor audio quality :(
I love listening to these podcasts as a CFE myself, but it does need some improvement in the audio quality. It’s not quite clear, it sounds as if the person was talking from afar.
Informative and engaging!
Tune into Fraud Talk not only for practical strategies to prevent and fight fraud, but for incredibly interesting conversations and case studies. Sarah is a fantastic host who leads really engaging interviews with her expert guests! Highly recommend listening and subscribing. 💯
