Send us a textListen to the past LiveStream! When a frequent police critic agrees to join our show for a live debate on inventory searches, something unexpected happens—mutual understanding.Instead of the contentious exchange you might expect, our conversation with "Kingslayer" transforms into a fascinating exploration of Fourth Amendment rights during traffic stops. What begins as disagreement over when police can legally search impounded vehicles evolves into a nuanced discussion about constitutional protections, officer discretion, and the real-world complexities of policing.As Kingslayer articulates his concern—that inventory searches become problematic when vehicles aren't ultimately towed—our hosts acknowledge the legal gray area while explaining the liability and safety considerations from law enforcement's perspective. The respect shown on both sides creates space for genuine learning rather than defensive posturing.The episode also features body camera analysis of high-stakes encounters, including a pursuit ending in gunfire where officers demonstrate remarkable restraint, and a domestic dispute that escalates when a man refuses commands during a felony stop. Throughout each review, we break down tactical decisions, missed opportunities, and moments where training translates into life-saving action.What makes this episode special isn't just the content but the demonstration of how productive dialogue happens between those with different perspectives on policing. By prioritizing understanding over "winning" arguments, both sides discover common ground in their shared commitment to constitutional rights.Whether you're interested in law enforcement procedures, know-your-rights education, or simply want to see how difficult conversations can bridge divides, this episode offers rare insight into finding common ground in an increasingly polarized world.

Morning Espresso, 4.3: Barcelona rogue auditors, salary caps, and mystery sales

Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso from the SDH Network, brought to you by Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse.An auditor who worked for Barcelona for four days is the only one who included the €100million sale of VIP seating to Middle Eastern investors and now that has been questioned by La Liga, which could lead to Dani Olmo and Pau Victor's registrations being in question. When you think this story is as ridiculous as it could possibly be, the scriptwriters find something else even more ridiculous to add into the mix. In reports filed from the previous auditor, who worked through sometime on December 31, and the unknown auditor who worked from December 31-January 3, and the next auditor who started on January 3 (we think)... only the unknown auditor had the sale included. That sale allowed Barcelona to have the additional salary cap space per La Liga rules to extend Olmo & Victor's registrations into 2025. But that sale either didn't happen, wasn't properly accounted for, or something else because it didn't show up on a subsequent financial report. Lots for the courts, league, and federation to sort out in Spain. And it affects a potential bid for a quadruple from Barcelona who are leading La Liga, won the SuperCopa, alive in the Champions League, and now into the final of the Copa del Rey where they will face Real Madrid. Announced this morning, the bid led by the US (which might or might not include Mexico as a co-host) was the only one submitted by the deadline to host the 2031 Women's World Cup. Gianni Infantino said at the UEFA Congress in Belgrade that other Concacaf nations could be involved in hosting matches, something that has been reported recently here in the US. The 2035 tournament will be hosted by Great Britain as it was the only to submit a bid in time for that event. LAFC beat Inter Miami last night in the first leg of the Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinal, the first loss for the Herons in 2025 in all competitions. Nathan Ordaz with the goal in the second half, second leg is in Ft. Lauderdale next week. Chattanooga Red Wolves won the penalty shootout across town at Finley Stadium to knock Chattanooga FC out of the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup in the second round in the first ever meeting between the two clubs. Over 12K were on hand for the game, 4th largest crowd in CFC history and their largest in a long time, 2nd largest in the 2nd round in the history of the USOC. Jose Mourinho did another ridiculous thing, which is becoming commonplace for him at this stage of his career. He grabbed the face of the opposing manager after yesterday's Turkish Cup match between his Fenerbahce & Galatasaray. The ridiculous actions seem to come on a bi-weekly basis for Mourinho at this stage, sad after one of the greatest careers for a manager in history but completely inexcusable to act in this manner. Liverpool defeated Everton yesterday 1-0, Everton should have had a player sent off for a horrendous challenge, but Liverpool's goal was controversial as well. Referees got it right according to how the rule is written, but I'm asking IFAB to consider changing the Laws of the Game to account for situations like this. When a pass is made for a player in an offside position, that should make them active in the play, regardless of whether they move for the ball or not. Defenders have to play the ball in that situation because they don't know if the player is offside from their vantage point. The defender shouldn't be punished for playing that ball by that action allowing the offside player to be now in an onside position. Luis Diaz was onside according to the letter of the LOTG, but not the spirit in my opinion and this should be changed going forward in interpretation.

Sadaf Sultan, Founder of Finprojections, and Jeremy Au analyzed the eFishery financial scandal and discuss broader issues of financial fraud in startups. They talked about why eFishery was appealing to investors and how the fraud unfolded and shared their insights into detecting fraud effectively. They explore the challenges faced during investor due diligence, overlooked warning signs, and practical suggestions for strengthening investor safeguards. 1. A promising vision: eFishery attracted investors by presenting itself as a solution for fragmented markets through vertical integration and improved efficiencies. 2. Start small, grow big: Initial minor revenue inflation escalated rapidly under pressures from ambitious fundraising goals. 3. Behind closed doors: The founders executed fraud through round-tripping transactions using shell companies to create artificial revenue. 4. Hard to detect: Auditors struggled to identify fraud due to heavy dependence on founder-provided information. 5. Overlooked red flags: Large bonuses to the finance team and sudden departures of key financial staff were early, but ignored, warning signals. 6. Strengthening investor checks: Investors need to leverage local expertise, perform forensic audits, and set up clear whistleblowing channels. 7. Recognizing red flags: Common fraud tactics include confusing GMV with revenue, overstating recurring revenue, aggressive credit offerings, and misclassifying discounts as marketing costs.

Our guest, Jason Pikoos, unpacks the complexities of using AI in financial operations and what it takes to align emerging technologies with rigorous audit standards.This episode focuses on the need for finance professionals to stay informed and proactive as the industry grapples with the opportunities and risks of AI. AI Technology continues to revolutionize finance, but auditors face an uphill battle in adapting to this unpredictable and rapidly evolving technology. The black-box nature of AI, combined with its non-deterministic outputs, challenges traditional auditing methods that rely on consistency and explainability. Without clear guidance from regulatory bodies like the PCAOB, companies are left navigating a landscape where the rules are yet to be written.Expect to LearnWhy generative AI presents unique challenges for audit and compliance.How companies can implement AI while staying audit-ready and minimizing risk.The importance of “reperformance” and ongoing validation for AI systems.Real-world examples of companies navigating AI implementation in finance.Predictions for the future of audits, including real-time monitoring powered by AI.Jason Pikoos emphasizes the importance of cautious adoption, ongoing validation, and strategic planning to bridge the gap until formal frameworks are established.

Today's episode is all about tips from the renowned Vivamayr clinic on how to have a healthy gut, which means a healthy life; plus audits set in stone from the Accounts of the Acropolis. This week we start with a news review with Sasha Kehoe, where naturally the focus is on Trump's inauguration, and the direct flow of executives orders from that point on.  The conversation continues to Bettel's comments on his time working with Trump; who is leaving X and Stargate. In other news, we have the continuing, if fragile, Gaza ceasefire, Chancellor Olaf Scholz's response to a fatal knife attach in southern Germany, Oscar nominations, the return of wolves to Luxembourg and other Luxembourg news. Vivamayr - the basics of gut health Vivamayr is a renowned, world-class medical health resort in the south of Austria, surrounded by a beautiful lake and mountains. Its primary focus lies in a holistic approach to health, emphasizing proper nutrition, gut health, detoxification and healthy aging. The resort has a team of medical and holistic health experts who follow the decades old principles of F.X. Mayr plus more modern additions. Dr. Werner Zancolo is the Head Physician at Vivamayr since 2021. He is a medical doctor specializing in gut health, holistic, and complementary medicine.  “Our goal should be to help people maintain their health and support them in aging healthfully.”   In this interview, even thought the technology didn't allow us to see him, he talks us through what we can all do in 2025 and beyond to help our gut heath, and therefore our overall health. Dr. Zancolo talks about the need to eat a mostly plant based diet, with one third animal or other products. He says that about 30% of the population has ‘leaky gut syndrome' which can be easily diagnosed with a stool sample. This can actually lead to depression due to lack of serotonin. The focus of food is on developing a two thirds alkaline diet, minimising caffeine and alcohol, but everything in moderation.  Fasting is good to reboot our cells into a sense of autophagy and cleaning up the internal systems. If we were to skip one meal a day it should be dinner, and we shouldn't eat raw food in the evenings, nor fruit.  Naturally, exercise, minimising chronic stress, adding meditation, good sleep… all of these are necessary for a healthy long life. Perhaps we know this, it's just good to be told again from a doctor.  Accounts from the Acropolis Damijan Fišer from the European Court of Auditors joined us once more to talk about a unique exhibit which has just opened at the European Court of Auditors. Courtesy of the Acropolis museum in Athens, the ECA now proudly hosts the accounts of the Acropolis from over 2000 years ago. On 23 January, the ECA President Tony Murphy and Nikolaos Milionis, ECA Member from Greece, unveiled an exhibit which comprises unique copies of the financial accounts for the construction of the gold and ivory statue of Athena which stood at the centre of the Parthenon. These stone slabs (steles) contain the complete accounts of revenues and expenses of the construction. The unusually large sums of money recorded may have implied that the gold employed in the construction of the statue of Athena Parthenos could be used as a state reserve for emergencies. Art is also increasingly being used to improve working environments and engage with ‘ancestral intelligence'.  Get in touch  Contact Lisa on LinkedIN or other social media platforms.  Tune in to The Lisa Burke Show on Today Radio Saturdays at 11am, Sundays at noon, and Tuesdays at 11am.

Detailed Description of Weaver's Motor Fuels Tax Minute, Episode 4800:00:00Kelly: Thank you for joining us on this week's Motor Fuels Tax Minute where we talk all things motor fuel. Today we have one of our colleagues joining us, Bryan, and Emilda is just going to give him a brief introduction.00:00:12Emilda: Thanks, Kelly. I feel like I've known Bryan all my life. It's funny, but we talk all the time. Bryan's been with Weaver for three and a half years. He is a supervisor with our motor fuel excise tax team, and he has a lot of experience, so we rely a lot on him heavily from an audit side because of the experience he's had with the state of Texas for ten years. With Bryan on our team, I feel like we've really considered all the different things about audit. I'm going to go ahead and pass it over to him because he has a lot of good tips on this.00:00:54Bryan: Without getting into specific types of audits, we have some general audit tips for you today. As you know, audits vary depending on the entity performing the audit, the tax type, or the scope of the review being conducted. So, first tip: be responsive. What I mean is, respond to queries and documentation requests timely, of course, but also to be vocal about realistic timelines for your own schedule. Let the auditor know about things like month-end or year-end closings that would interfere with the review. On the flip side, if you haven't heard from the auditor in a while, and that does happen, reach out and let them know that you want to move the audit forward. It's in your best interest to get it wrapped up quickly. Put the pressure back on the auditor to get the review done timely. Interest accrues on adjustments from when the error was initially made and continues to accrue until audit payment is made. The longer the audit is held open, the more interest accrues. Be vocal. Work with the auditor to help them understand your business and your process. I'm not saying you should yell or use a hammer to drive your point home or anything, but guide the auditor through your system and procedures. Oftentimes, the audit ends up becoming a type of conversation, where you're helping them to understand how you do things. If the auditor has a better understanding of how things are done, then they'll be more receptive to documentation that you provide them and it'll give you a voice in the audit, and it helps you to control the narrative of the audit. Generally, auditors are supposed to have an in-depth knowledge of the tax laws, although we all know that that's not always the case. But each business is different. So, accounting systems and methods vary from business to business. Auditors don't have in-depth knowledge of your particular accounting system, or your processes, and they rely on you as the taxpayers for guidance. Always ask the auditor to provide support for their audit decisions, this one's big. These decisions can sometimes be pretty vague, and if you can get written support from the auditor, do it. And if they don't provide it, ask for it.Click play above to hear the rest of the conversation.

The Audit Of a Lifetime - #9871

A Word With You

Play Episode Listen Later Nov 11, 2024


Oh, when the auditor leaves from our annual audit, man, our administrative team is high-fivin'. Partly because, well, we've been blessed to get a clean audit year after year, and partly it's just because it's over! They work pretty hard to be ready for all the things the auditor wants to check out. In the business world, and sometimes even in the Christian world, audits aren't always happy. Auditors can find things that get you in trouble with your boss, with the government, even with the law. Audits uncover hidden secrets. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "The Audit Of A Lifetime." Now, I have a meeting scheduled with the auditor in the future. Except, I don't know when it is, because the appointment is with The Auditor, and only He knows when my audit of a lifetime is going to be. Fact is we're all facing the audit of our lives. Our word for today from the word of God in Romans 14:12 says "...each of us will give an account of himself to God." There will be no exceptions, "...each of us." There will be no excuses, "...will give account of himself to God." No blaming your spouse, your parents, your kids, your friends, your coworkers, your environment. I will answer for me and me alone. Also, there will be no secrets. Romans 2:16 says, "God will judge men's secrets through Jesus Christ." The Auditor knows every website we've ever visited, every e-mail or conversation we've been involved with, every sin we thought we got away with. Many times I've seen a road sign with these stark words: "Prepare to meet your God" (Amos 4:12). Since heaven's all-knowing Auditor will expose everything about my life, it actually makes sense to work on what I'll face in His presence. The Auditor has let us know what He'll be auditing. I'd like to know that now. Now, I know He'll be auditing the words I speak. Jesus said so; "Men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless (or worthless that means) word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted and by your words you will be condemned" (Matthew 12:36-37). All our words, including the gossip, the angry stuff, the putdowns, the dirty stuff, will be there to meet us on the day of judgment and there will be no denying my own words. The Auditor's also going to examine why I do what I do. The Bible says, "Wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts" (1 Corinthians 4:5). I'm not too excited about those new full body scans that they're installing at airports; they reveal what no one else can see. But that's nothing compared to God's full heart scan at the judgment seat. No matter how good what I've done may be, it will burn if my real motive was me, not Him. God cares a lot more about why we do than what we do. If it wasn't for His glory, if it wasn't because of pure love, it will never survive the audit. Then Jesus said, "Give an account of your management" (Luke 16:2). The audit is going to be about what I've done with what He's given to me: my money, my influence, my home, my abilities, my opportunities. I'm suspecting that a lot of us are going to be feeling the shame and sadness of what might have been, of how much we could have done and should have done. And then this warning. "When I say to a wicked man, 'You will surely die,' and you do not...speak out to dissuade him from his evil ways in order to save his life, that wicked man will die for his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood" (Ezekiel 3:18). Whew! God will confront me with all the people I didn't tell about Jesus, whose eternity depended on hearing about Him. And here is the hardest-hitting exposure of all, the audit of a lifetime, "...the books were opened. Another book was opened which is the Book of Life...If anyone's name was not found written in the Book of Life, he was thrown into the lake of fire" (Revelation 20:12, 15). What an unspeakably awful moment. Jesus checks the Book of Life to see if a person's name is there. If it's not, it's too late. It's entered there when you pin all your hopes on the Christ who died on the cross so you would never have to have that moment. You could have your name put in His book today by giving your life to Him. The audit is coming, be ready for the audit. Prepare to meet your God.

Finding Small Business Fraud with James Ratley

There are a shocking amount of businesses that ultimately fail because of fraud. Many managers and business owners are unaware of their losses because they do not have the systems in place to look for fraud and it may not be their primary concern. Today's guest is James Ratley. Jim graduated from the University of Texas at Dallas with a bachelor's degree in Business Administration. In 1971, he joined the Dallas Police Department as a police officer. He was on numerous task forces with a concentration on major fraud cases. He joined a major forensic accounting practice and was in charge of fraud investigations. In 1988, he was named the Program Director of The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners and in 2006, became the President. In 2011, he became the CEO and he retired in 2018 after 30 years there. James has been an adjunct professor, published author, and named by Accounting Today as one of the top influencers multiple times. Show Notes: [1:14] - James shares his background and the way his career panned out over 30 years. [3:35] - When the ACFE was established, there was no information or education around it at all. [5:09] - The average organization loses 5% of their revenue to fraud. Out of every ten people hired, statistically, six of them will steal from you. [6:46] - Fraud can be prevented and strategies to reduce fraud are typically inexpensive. [8:40] - It's important for business owners not to be afraid to call it fraud. [10:25] - Fraud perpetrators believe they deserve what they've taken. [13:26] - It's important for businesses to have strong management and leadership. Training is crucial. [14:18] - James discusses the most common types of fraud and how even the seemingly minor things could be detrimental. [18:24] - Fraud perpetrators are really good at hiding what they are doing and making the business owners believe it could never be them. [20:15] - Another strategy is to separate tasks out and be strict about them. [21:37] - Surprise cash counts is another good strategy. [23:13] - There are no small frauds, only frauds that have not had time to reach maturity. [25:44] - You impact rationalization through education. [29:16] - James lists some of the red flags that could indicate something more going on. [31:31] - There should be policies and regulations that purchasing officers are held to. [36:30] - Auditors must be completely independent. [40:10] - Some business owners will deny the problem is happening because it is hard to deal with and accept that someone they trust could be stealing. [44:35] - Many small organizations go out of business due to operating at a loss. Most of the time this is because of fraud. [47:25] - Never judge someone by the standards you have for yourself. [51:12] - Something to remember is that most fraudsters will steal in even numbers. [53:11] - In most cases that James has worked, the manager had seen all the signs, but never thought anything about it. Thanks for joining us on Easy Prey.

Howdy, y'all, and welcome to The Cyber Ranch Podcast!  Our guest today is Tim Brown.  If you don't' know who Tim Brown is, he is the CISO at SolarWinds, and as such, is one of us. Or maybe in a way, he is all of us, really.  Tim advises and has held various other roles in the past, including product roles, which our listeners know are well-respected skills down at the 'Ranch. The topic today is cyber regulation.  It can range from self-regulation to associations, principles, practices, lobbying – all the way up to full government regulation.  What works?  What's required? Topics covered: What is the case for regulation? What are the basics rules to provide us coverage and clarity? Not knowing the rules makes people nervous and afraid... Document your own processes, procedures, JDs, what you do, what you don't do. Make it clear! Rigorous banking industry regulations exist already.  How onerous are they?  How badly would they fit the rest of us? Perhaps a GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) equivalent is desired? Process/procedure vs. 'Thou shalt never have a vulnerability!' Heavy-handed governmental oversight - defining standard of care and turning that into something people can stand behind? Remember that Sarbanes and Oxley were people.  Real people. Is regulation required to create a more positive environment in the way SOX does? What does the public-private partnership need so that the rules created are good and realistic and improve cybersecurity for the world? REGULATION IS COMING!  THE CISO COMMUNITY MUST BE A PART OF THAT REGULATION! Have we had a cyber Enron, and do we need one?  That was the real catastrophe that launched SOX... Regarding GAAP, accounting is deterministic vs. dynamic - Can a cyber GAPP ever exist given how dynamic we are? The compliance world: principles based vs. rules based regulation - a more practical model. It may not move the bar enough, but it's a good starting point. Should a whole field of security auditors existing like accounting auditors do? We are youngsters in this craft still... Is the accounting world really the best metaphor?  Auditors, forensic accountants, etc.? Another model is the medical world - malpractice, specific rules and regulations on specific surgical practices? What about a national CISO board or association like the NACD or the American Psychological Association? What about boards like medical review boards that approve specialties? Lobbying How to fund this? Who should be doing the doing?  Inclusivity vs. sound gatekeeping. A barber has to be licensed to cut hair - should we get licensed? This conversation was around with software engineers long before it was with cyber folks.  We learned that self-policing did not really work... The challenge is one of not shackling the business, or at least not appearing to, and the subsequent pushback. The call to action is ultimately this: If you don't have a seat at the table, folks will do things to you rather than with you.  So get involved! Y'all be good now!

Getting out among the people always reveals the truth. Tina Peters' is a case in corruption. Server imaging is a job, not a crime. Selecting an objective jury is an issue. Protect and serve doesn't apply. It is all about punishment. The sheriff is elected on Dominion machines. Federal involvement via tech dude substitute. This could get dangerous. Blowing the whistle since 2015. Lutheran Social Services are involved, as always. Auditors cannot audit other agencies without permission. They try to destroy every single remedy. The Right actually plots the most evil schemes. Kyle gets shamed. It's what communists do. Vance's transitory position makes sense now. How many times will we sing this song? They put us against each other. The frequency of truth is based in authenticity. Let it slide, but she will remember. Trump's people are not all good. Get in line if you want to probe. The alpha agencies were first. Focusing on the people is crucial. Honesty can be messy, but authenticity will be successful, manipulation will not.
