Culture, Compliance and Humanizing Fraud Risk - Dr. Ursula Schmidt - Episode 168

In this episode of Fraud Talk, Ursula Schmidt, Ph.D., CCEP-I, founder of Schmidt Advisory and a former executive vice president of audit and compliance, joins the show to explore how culture, communication and human behavior shape effective fraud risk management.

 

Drawing on her global experience in internal audit and compliance, Dr. Schmidt explains why fraud is fundamentally a human problem, the importance of clear ownership of fraud risk, and why organizations must move beyond checklists and controls to address trust, transparency and accountability through honest communication and expectations.

 

Also in this episode, ACFE Chief Training Officer Andi McNeal, CFE, CPA, answers questions about the human element of fraud risk management and the value that tone-at-the-top culture brings to ensure all layers of an organization work together to improve prevention and detection.
