Fraud Talk is the monthly podcast of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE). In these sessions, we break down case studies, talk with the anti-fraud industryโs leading experts, and give you more tools to spot, fight and prevent fraud.
In this episode of Fraud Talk, ACFE Content Manager Rihonna Scoggins speaks with Victor Cardona, adjunct professor of forensic accounting at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, to discuss their โDay in the Life of an IRS Agentโ program. The initiative immerses students in real-world forensic accounting and criminal investigation scenarios, offering a hands-on look at careers in fraud prevention and compliance. Cardona shares how interactive education, mentorship and networking are key to inspiring the next generation of anti-fraud professionalsโand why promoting ethical standards early on is essential in shaping the future workforce.
