Session 1: The Best Fraud Defense is a Good ERM Offense
Organizations often consider fraud as something that must be prevented at all costs…but with limited resources, is this always achievable? This session will explore how principles of enterprise risk management can be applied to fraud risk management to ensure organizations are considering fraud within the context of their overall strategy and not sacrificing value in exchange for a zero-risk appetite. Michael Miles and Stacey Floam will be leading the session on Thursday, April 29.
Presenters:
- Stacey Floam, Guidehouse
- Michael Miles, CFE, CIA, Guidehouse
Session 2: GAO Presentation on Recent Report on Home Foreclosure Sales
Home Foreclosure Sales: FHA, Rural Housing Service, and VA Could Better Align Program Metrics with Their Missions (GAO-21-219)
Poor maintenance of foreclosed properties can negatively affect communities and threaten neighborhood stability. GAO's March 2021 report found that federal agencies involved in home foreclosure sales generally focused on financial goals for the properties, such as getting a good return, but did not always measure if they achieved other goals, like stabilizing communities or selling homes to low-income buyers. GAO recommended that the Federal Housing Administration (FHA); Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and the Rural Housing Service (RHS) measure how well foreclosed property programs strengthen neighborhoods or help meet other, non-financial goals.
The goals of the presentation are to provide information on:
- federal agencies' programs to dispose of foreclosed properties, also known as real estate-owned (REO) properties;
- changes in the number of the agencies' REO properties in 2004-2019 and factors that affected maintenance costs for the properties in 2017-2019;
- findings from GAO's analysis of the agencies' oversight of maintenance contractors; and
- findings and recommendations of GAO's analysis of the agencies' metrics to track policy outcomes of their REO programs.
Presenters:
- John Pendleton, Director, Financial Markets and Community Investment, GAO
- Nadine Garrick Raidbard, Assistant Director, Financial Markets and Community Investment, GAO
- Catherine Gelb, Senior Analyst, Financial Markets and Community Investment, GAO
