The Forensic Audit Money is missing from the petty cash, large discrepancies are showing up in inventories, a soon to be ex-spouse claims bankruptcy, promised assets from a will are missing. These are all common reasons an investigator requests a forensic audit. Every crime leaves some trace; in financial crimes it usually means a digital trail. Financial crime continues to grow in the digital realm, while in the real world, violent robbery is down according to the 2013 FBI R...obbery report. This is the main factor fueling the increase in the use of financial audits. It is where the accounting profession meets the investigation vocation. Forensic accounting history runs hundreds of years into the past but has dramatically increased in popularity since the 1970's according to Kristen Dreyer's A History of Forensic Accounting." A large part of the forensic accountant profession is focused on businesses vulnerable to fraud like banking and insurance. Auditors must be disciplined in the business practices of these unique entities. Searching for evidence of fraud, auditors like all investigators must conduct themselves professionally, with a focus on confidentiality, especially when reputations of individuals are at stake. The forensic audit can be used to find more than just theft of goods or money. It is essential in other aspects of criminal Investigation, including money laundering, a time-tested effective way of pursuing drug cartels and criminal syndicates. Forensic audits are used in cases of professional negligence were the auditor has to take measure of another professional’s work. The forensic audit is also used in marital and family law, bringing clarity to support payments through lifestyle and asset analysis. Not only is the forensic audit a key aspect in catching fraud and financial crime, they are also increasingly being asked to develop procedures and systems that audit committees can put in place to deter fraud.

‘DISTRACTION-FREE’ ZONES You may soon be hearing more and more about employers touting the importance of ‘Distraction-Free’ zones. In this day and age, everyone is glued to their cell phones, iPads, iPods, BlackBerrys, MP3 players, you name it. It’s hard to have a conversation with someone without them glancing at their device frequently throughout. Unfortunately, it’s something that we’ve all gotten used to.... Companies are beginning to recognize that cell phone usage is not just a traffic-safety issue. What’s more, some employers are instituting no-electronic-device policies that have workers leaving their cell phones and all other devices away from the worksite until break time. Extensive research on brain function shows why digital devices hamper safety. WorkSafeBC Human Factors Specialist Heather Kahle says, The notion that we can multi-task well is a myth. The brain deals with information sequentially, switching between tasks so quickly that we’re given the impression that we can do two tasks at once, but each task suffers a little. What’s more, we only have so much attention capacity. Kahle continues, If there’s too much information to process, the brain starts to decide what to process and what to filter out. And what’s filtered out is not attended to. This applies to what we hear and what we see. Try these (not so) simple tests: http://headsup.discoveryeducation.com/ http://www.nytimes.com//techno/20090719-driving-game.html And my all-time favourite: http://think.direct.gov.uk/drivingchallenge/ In February of 2015, I received a ticket from a local RCMP officer for texting at a stop light. Ridiculous, really. I was texting my husband to say I’d be home in one minute. Really? Was that necessary? Now when I drive, my cell phone stays where it belongsin my purse. And I failed all the above tests, by the way. Cathy Love www.copywritetranscription.ca

Human Errors Cause Security Breach by Richard Poland It’s hard to open a paper or read any news article without running into another security breach headline like Fed’s anger grows over data breach, amid fears that the number affected could rise. (Washington Post June 28, 2015) or (WIRED Magazine’s June 13, 2015 article) WHY THE OPM BREACH IS SUCH A SECURITY AND PRIVACY DEBACLE. Our networks and computers seem to be under constant attack from malicious hackers bent on st...ealing all they can get their digital tentacles into. The fact that hackers are always testing, lurking and probing for new ways to get into our systems can make the average user weary of security. The truth is that most of all security breaks are often a direct result of human error. This past weekend, Woolworths (an Australian grocery chain) accidently emailed a list of 8,000 gift cards, with customer information and redeemable codes, to a list of shoppers who had purchased a discount card from a Groupon sale. Instead of receiving a PDF with an electronic voucher from the grocer, many customers were emailed a master list with information for over $1 million in vouchers as reported by Australian Based Fairfax Media. In 2011, Robin Seggelman, a German computer programmer, made a coding error, really just a typo, that resulted in a backdoor into supposedly secure sites. You have most likely heard of it: Heartbleed. It even caused the Canadian Revenue Agency to temporally shut down its website. Joseph Brean National Post Companies and individuals are going to have work harder to avoid these errors. Through proper training and simple education, subjects like email phishing and proper password protocols can be explained so that users will be less vulnerable to their own mistakes.

Rise of Insurance Rates Home insurance rates just seem to keep rising. In the last several years, severe weather, especially ice storms and flooding, have caused a spike in the amount of money been paid out on each claim. The Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) say that, between 1995 and 1999, the average paid out per year for claims was 2.87 billion dollars, however between 2010 and 2014 that same average jumped to 5.72 billion dollars (all in 2014 dollars). Having the claim av...erage double in a 15-year period is alarming and, with no apparent change to our shifting weather patterns, the prospect of rates in the next 15 years is downright petrifying. Future homeowners are going to have to really pay attention to location for more than just schools, shops and parks that fit their lifestyles. Homeowner policy rates in and around flood zones have soared, as have rates in areas that have suffered through ice storms. All homeowner policy holders will see escalating rates due to changing weather, however the people living in these areas will unfortunately feel it the most. Richard Poland
