Decosimo, announced that Director of Forensic Accounting and Internal Audit Services Bill Acuff will be serving as a featured presenter during the 2014 Southeastern Accounting Show of Georgia Society of Certified Public Accountants, taking place Aug. 27-28, at the Cobb Galleria Centre.

Mr. Acuff will be speaking on the second day of the event and his presentation, “Using Data Analytics to Detect Disbursements Fraud,” will examine today’s automated control environment, looking at the risks involved as organizations place more reliance on automated controls that can disguise fraud within vast amounts of data.

In addition, Mr. Acuff will dissect today’s most prevalent fraud schemes and demonstrate how a company’s use of data analytics can lead to identifying the red flags of fraud.
