    4A Fiduciary Fraud: When Trusted Individuals Turn Untrustworthy

    Monday, June 18 | 1:50-3:05 PM


    Level: Intermediate

    Recommended Prerequisite: Knowledge of fraud schemes and how they are perpetrated, so that they can then be applied to fiduciary contexts

    Field of Study: Specialized Knowledge

    Once someone is entrusted in a fiduciary relationship, an opportunity is created for that person to become less trustworthy, or worse, a thief. Whether structuring a new fiduciary role to prevent fraud or investigating fraud after it has occurred, breaches of fiduciary duty are great sources of work.

    You Will Learn How To:

    • Define fiduciary and fiduciary duty
    • Identify various contexts in which a fiduciary and fiduciary duty exist
    • Determine how the actions and inactions of a fiduciary can cause a breach of fiduciary duty
    • Recognize how breaches often lead to fraud, losses and damages
