Introducing Fraud Files: FloQademy’s First-Ever CPE Eligible True Crime Podcast
We’re big podcast fans here at FloQast. Given the analytical nature of our profession, it should come as no surprise that we’re also huge on true crime. So, today, we’re especially proud to announce our first-ever true crime podcast, Fraud Files: The Rise & Fall of Dawn J. Bennett, available on FloQademy. And the best part? You can earn CPE as you listen.
Hosted by forensic accountant Kelly Richmond Pope, PhD, an accounting professor at DePaul University in Chicago (go Blue Demons!) and an accomplished author, season one takes a deep dive into the life and crimes of Dawn J. Bennett, a financial advisor whose career took a dark turn into high-level fraud. Through meticulous storytelling from Dr. Pope and the FloQast Studios team, we uncover Bennett’s descent into deception, exploring the tactics she employed to maintain her facade and retain control over her clients’ finances.
More than a narrative of past misdeeds, “The Fraud Files” offers insights into the mechanics of fraud and its consequences. Listeners gain valuable lessons in ethics, due diligence, and professional skepticism, making it a compelling exploration for finance professionals.
With a unique format featuring “audio-movie” narrative, the six-episode series tells its story through assorted voice actor characters and sound design.
Aside from being a fascinating tale of greed, by the end of the series, listeners will be able to:
- Recall how to utilize due diligence and professional skepticism during financial advisement
- Identify risk behaviors associated with the 2008 recession
- Recognize components of the financial advisory sector including Barron’s ratings, employment agreements, and tax law.
The series, as well as Blood, Sweat & Balance Sheets and The FinTech Flo podcast and hours of other CPE content, are available for free on FloQademy. Be sure to sign up today!
