it! Well, I just finished studying for my 6 th grade science test….uh, I mean<br />
helping my son study for his science test….the periodic table, protons, neutrons,<br />
electrons, chemical and physical reactions……I can’t tell you how much I<br />
appreciate being an internal auditor! <strong>The</strong> <strong>Chapter</strong> year is quickly winding down;<br />

Presentation Topic: <strong>The</strong> Psychology behind Fraud, Unethical Behavior and<br />
White Collar Crime - A MUST for every Audit Pr<strong>of</strong>essional – Presented by<br />
JPA International.<br />
Though CPAs and senior executives have figured prominently in recent fraud cases, people <strong>of</strong> all backgrounds<br />
and pr<strong>of</strong>essions are capable <strong>of</strong> committing fraud. Understanding the psychological forces behind fraudulent<br />
behavior is critical to detecting, preventing and dealing with fraud.<br />
One <strong>of</strong> the least discussed reasons behind unethical behavior is related to a small group <strong>of</strong> people who, with the<br />
right combination <strong>of</strong> inner traits and smarts, can cause the most damage to an organization.<br />
It is this small (estimated 7-10%) group who can be the deadliest killers <strong>of</strong> all to your company, and no amount <strong>of</strong><br />
SOX rigor or financial analysis is going to smoke them out. It is this group that is behind most <strong>of</strong> the larger (and<br />
costliest) fraudulent crimes.<br />
Joan Pastor, PhD, a noted clinical and industrial -organizational psychologist, first began studying this phenomenon<br />
when she saw a bright man single-handedly destroy a small (but highly successful) brokerage firm she was<br />
consulting with 20 years ago. She continued to observe this phenomenon in various forms over the years. By<br />
bringing both clinical and business research together, she has identified a syndrome, or a pattern <strong>of</strong> traits and<br />
behavior that explain these type <strong>of</strong> people, how to identify them, and external conditions in a company that<br />
encourage these people to make their plays. As a Certified Speaking Pr<strong>of</strong>essional, Joan delivers her programs<br />
with humor, timely references, original research and implementation experience at many major clients. She has<br />
over two decades <strong>of</strong> speaking, coaching, consulting and training experience.<br />

On Tuesday, Nov. 15, 2011, <strong>The</strong> IIA's Global Board <strong>of</strong> Directors approved the implementation<br />

Additionally, on Nov. 30, 2011, <strong>The</strong> IIA Executive Committee approved the consolidation <strong>of</strong> all<br />
administrative directives pertaining to CPE requirements for IIA certifications. All certified<br />
individuals must now comply with Administrative Directive No. Four.<br />

process will be implemented. <strong>The</strong> following table summarizes these changes.<br />

What do these changes mean for you?<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>2012</strong> reporting year will be a transition year, bringing all certified individuals in line with the<br />
new CPE program. Candidates will need to report for a varied amount <strong>of</strong> CPE based on when<br />
