Eye on Fraud - Ransomware Attacks and the Forensic Accountant’s Role

Nov 16, 2023

We discuss with Rumbi Petrozzello, the lead author of the winter 2023 issue of Eye on Fraud, a quarterly publication created by the FLS Fraud Task Force:  

• What is ransomware?
• What are the key techniques used to attach IT networks
• What should forensic accountants do, both professionally and personally, before and after an attack?

The FVS podcast will be featuring an episode on each Eye of Fraud publication from 2023 and forward. If you are a FVS section member perhaps you have already read this content.  We hope these podcast episodes give you a new and different way to explore this information.  If you are not a Section member, this episode will give you a sample of what is included in the FVS Section’s resource library.  

Host:   Frank Previti, CPA/CFF, CFE, DiSanto, Priest & Co.
Guest:  Rumbi Bwerinofa-Petrozzello, CPA/CFF, CFE, Head of Strategy, Consulting, Seramount
