Kevin McCarthy, the Chief Fraudcaster and “uniquely fresh” Business Ethics and Fraud Prevention Trainer, helps organizations create and sustain an ethical environment and reduce fraud by exposing the mindsets and thinking patterns that lead to undesirable outcomes.

“Preventing fraud is not just about processes and systems. We also must understand the mindsets that enable fraud and foster unethical behavior in the workplace and in our personal lives.”

What makes this Business Ethics program refreshing and unique:

Business ethics programs tend to be process driven and theoretical, and therefore, boring and dry. Most people show up just to “check the box” for their CE hours. Unfortunately, a boring ethics and fraud program that does not hold the attention of the participants and create within them a desire to make the right choices will bring little value to your organization.

If you want a dynamic and fun speaker and a program that will work in creating and sustaining an ethical culture and reducing fraud in your organization, then read on…
