Topic:

Friends in Low Places

Finding the Hidden Accomplice.

No outlaw rides alone.

Objectives:

Fraud rarely happens in a vacuum. While investigations often focus on the person who stole the money or manipulated the records, the most important person in the case may be the one standing just outside the spotlight.

Using real-world fraud cases and an outlaw-country theme, this presentation explores how accomplices, facilitators, enablers, and overlooked participants can help a scheme succeed—or help conceal it.
