AGENDA: Nobody's Fool: Fraud and Behavioral Science in Today's World with Kelly Paxton, CFE, Speaker and Fraud Consultant  Good people make bad choices and bad people make good choices. Using behavioral science, neuroscience, anecdotes and real life examples, listen to how easily it is to be deceived and what can you do about it. This is not your regular boring ethics presentation.  I won't say "it depends!" Learning objectives: Understanding deception in both professional and personal settings.  How you can protect your organization and your community. How fraudsters work to gain trust and control. Confirmation bias-what is it and how you can lessen it to prevent risks. Identify common practices to potentially stop fraud in its tracks. Steps to implement better controls in your workplace including pre-mortems and positive controls Kelly Paxton has more than 20 years of investigative experience. Kelly is a Certified Fraud Examiner, author, and podcast host-founder of Fraudish.  Ms. Paxton started her career in law enforcement as a Special Agent for US Customs Office of Investigations in 1993.  Ms. Paxton was recruited by US Customs for her expertise in finance.  She worked white collar fraud, money laundering and narcotics cases.  She also was responsible for the district’s undercover operations and financial reporting of these operations. Kelly worked as a contract investigator doing over 1000 security background investigations for the Office of Personnel Management and Department of Homeland Security.
