The Bored Room: How Apathy Is Underminin...

Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE)
About this episode

In this episode of Fraud Talk, we explore an often-overlooked risk factor inside organizations: boredom. Guest Garth Sheriff, CFE, CPA, educator and former actor, joins ACFE Content Manager Rihonna Scoggins to examine how disengagement in ethics training and workplace culture can quietly open the door to fraud. Sheriff draws on his unique background in accounting, acting and continuing education to show why storytelling and lived experience matter more than checklists when it comes to ethics.
