Sean Mueller shares a real story of ethical collapse and consequence, delivered live at the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) Annual Conference in July to a hybrid audience of over 5,000 people. In just three minutes, this presentation captures the human side of fraud and misconduct, illustrating how ethical drift recognition is crucial as it often starts small, unravels quickly, and leads to significant costs. It's a powerful opener for any audience eager to explore decision-making strategies that foster a culture of building integrity.
“Sean Mueller, you did an amazing job, which in turn made my job easy. Thank you for sharing your story with such honesty and candor. Absolutely one of my favorite interviews!”
