Fraud Prevention and DetectionFraud Prevention and Detection makes the business owner aware of internal and external fraud, corruption, asset misappropriation and financial fraud. We will also discuss the Fraud Triangle which are the components that lead to fraud. Steps to Prevention and Detection, (1) communication, (2) checks and balances, (3) follow through. Being aware of how and why fraud is committed can save the business ten’s if not hundreds of thousands of dollars. Fiduciary Fraud - Black's Law Dictionary defines fiduciary as, “a person who is required to act for the benefit of another person on all matters within the scope of their relationship; one who owes to another the duties of good faith, trust, confidence and candor; one who must exercise a high standard of care in managing another's money or property.” The presentation will (1) identify various contexts in which a fiduciary duty exists, (2) determine how the actions and inactions of a fiduciary can cause a breach of fiduciary duty, (3) recognize how breaches often lead to fraud, losses and damages, (4) recognize that civil breach of fiduciary duty claims can prove invaluable in preparing a criminal theft or embezzlement case.

Stuff The Sleigh
Nicole Normandin currently serves as the Executive Director for Stuff the Sleigh, a nonprofit organization that supports the psychosocial and emotional needs of pediatric cancer and hematology patients and families. Over the last ten years, Nicole has worked with vulnerable populations in several capacities – most recently as a Clinical Social Worker at Texas Children’s Cancer and Hematology Centers and as a Community Outreach Specialist with the American Cancer Society.
Nicole has a Bachelor’s of Arts in Psychology and a Masters of Science in Social Work, both from the University of Texas at Austin. In May 2017, she completed the Rice University Leadership Institute for Nonprofit Executives. She has extensive work volunteering and serving others, including time as the President of Student Hope, a pilot program through the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.
What she loves most about her role in Stuff the Sleigh is the ability to give each patient, sibling and parent a little something to make them smile despite the devastating circumstances around them. When Nicole’s father lost his 7-year battle to pancreatic cancer, her personal and professional passion for positively impacting the lives of cancer patients was reinforced, allowing her to lead the efforts made by Stuff the Sleigh.
