Navigating a misshapen world

January of this year now seems like a quaint time. Since then, the world has stretched in bizarre ways, and it probably won’t ever resume its previous shape. The Board of Regents want to encourage you as your organizations need your anti-fraud skills more than ever.

The Participants:

For months, you’ve probably been working from home. Some of you have been trickling back to your offices. Your Board of Regents also have endured Zoom meetings, struggled with balancing deadlines with family responsibilities and coped with fluctuating emotions.

A few days before the virtual 31st Annual ACFE Global Fraud Conference, the Board conferred (yes, on Zoom) to give you some encouragement as they discussed the challenges and benefits of working in semi-isolation, supporting budding and new fraud examiners, and acquiring soft skills that all of us need to thrive in a world that we couldn’t conceive in January.

FM: As we begin, do you have something you feel like you want to communicate to the members during our COVID-19 sojourn?
