Topics will include preventing and detecting insider threats, healthcare fraud, identity fraud and data breaches. It also includes the latest updates on cybersecurity, law enforcement trends, SEC prosecutions, the Foreign Corruption Practices Act (FCPA) and more.

Berecz, who spent 23 years as a special agent with the FBI, is Director of the Center for Forensic Studies in Accounting and Business at Georgia Southern University.
