Red Flags of Ponzi Schemes
H. David Kotz, Director, Berkeley Research Group
Prior to Berkeley Research Group, Mr. Kotz served for over 4 years as the Inspector General of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC.) During his tenure at the SEC he authored the landmark, widely publicized report investigating the failure of the SEC to uncover Bernard Madoff's $50 billion Ponzi scheme. He also authored numerous other high-profile reports of investigations while at the SEC, including a report concerning the $7 billion alleged Ponzi scheme perpetrated by Allen Stanford. In this fascinating keynote, Mr. Kotz will describe the "red flags" associated with Ponzi schemes and other similar frauds, the basic steps that can be undertaken to uncover the fraud, and why the regulators seem to be failing to uncover them. He will also provide advice for internal auditors on how to react when a fraud occurs in their company.

Internal Audit as a Risk Partner and Change Agent
Maria Olide, CPA, Chief Audit Executive, ADP, Inc.
Ms. Olide will discuss how the ADP Internal Audit team strives to actively drive the changes necessary to appropriately manage strategic, operational, compliance and reporting risks. In order to drive that change, the team is expected to have a deep understanding of ADP's strategy, business operations and objectives, be an expert in the relevant risk area, and be able to influence the organization to act. This new paradigm requires an ongoing engagement and monitoring approach to the key risks rather than a traditional "touch-and-go" audit approach. Ms. Olide will also share how the skill sets of the team are being developed in order for team members to be risk partners in achieving the strategies, goals, and objectives of the business.
