Fraud, Pink Collar Crime and Embezzlement

Hi Welcome to ValuationPodcast.com - A podcast and video series about all things related to business and valuation.  My name is Melissa Gragg, and I am a valuation expert witness in St. Louis Missouri.  

 I have the pleasure of discussing Pink Collar Crime, Fraud and Embezzlement with Kelly Paxton – a private investigator and certified fraud examiner in Portland Oregon. 

 Welcome Kelly! 

1. How did you get into the fraud world and become a private investigator?

2. What is Fraud?

3. What is Pink Collar Crime?

4. What is embezzlement?

5. Does fraud happen in all industries?

6. How can you help as a certified fraud examiner (or CFE) with a business that has been embezzled?

7. How can you be proactive when selling a business and not be concerned as a buyer that fraud has taken place?

8. Tell me about a case where valuation was skimped on and how it hurt the parties?
