This month’s lecture for Chapter Members

This month’s lecture is A SUMMARY OF THE LAWS AGAINST FRAUD for two CPE credits.

We CFEs practicing nationally constantly work in the legal environment and for that reason must have a broad, basic understanding of the legal systems in the United States. Such an understanding should encompass not only basic business law and the civil court system but also criminal law and the criminal court systems. Of course, the CFE or forensic accountant must not have the same degree of expertise as a licensed attorney, but a good knowledge of the system (especially of the laws specifically pertaining to fraud) can help any CFE to effectively work with the various aspects of the legal system encountered as we are called upon to investigate in support of our clients. Since laws and legal procedures can vary from one jurisdiction to another, this month’s lecture is but a simple and broad roadmap of the legal system focusing as a summary principally on the category of general laws and procedures concerning fraud.    Enjoy!
