While at Sage Intacct Advantage 2019, we had the privilege of speaking with Kelly Richmond Pope, Ph.D, CPA about the importance of ethics and culture in accounting, and how she uses her passions for film, fraud, and learning to disrupt the world of accounting education. Kelly's credits include CPA, Associate Professor at DePaul University, AICPA Pre-Certification Executive Education Committee member, TED speaker, filmmaker, and more. We also discuss what effective ethics training should include, explore some ethics scenarios, and talk about a few notable stories revolving around fraud, such as KPMG, and MyPayrollHR.
