According to the FBI, "white-collar crime is...synonymous with the full range of frauds committed by business and government professionals...characterized by deceit, concealment, or violation of trust. The motivation behind these crimes is financial--to obtain or avoid losing money, property, or services or to secure a personal or business advantage." CPAs can and should play a crucial role in preventing and detecting white-collar crime, as well as in prosecuting the perpetrators. This session will explore whether we are up to this challenge, heighten awareness regarding the CPA's role as a front-line defender of the public interest, and assess whether we are deserving of the public trust we enjoy.
