It is only every two years that the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, an association to which I belong, produces and publishes its Report on the state of fraud. This report includes specifics of cases, and particulars about those who both perpetrate and fight against fraud. Prior to 2012, the report focused on responses from the United States alone, but last time it went from The Report to The Nation to include a pluralized world view which was an excellent move. I have been periodically checking the ACFE website for the last few months to determine when the new report would be coming out. Each previous search yielded little fruit… until today. I don’t care how nerdy it sounds, I’m pretty excited about this report (even the art work on the cover is exciting). So much so, in fact, that I printed two copies in color – one for my office to reference as needed, and one to take on my transatlantic flight this weekend, assuming that I can hold off that long.
