Day 2
For Day 2 of Compliance Week, we'll review why and how we do what we do in the Office of Institutional compliance. Today's activity is called Real vs. Reel, where you will guess whether a fraudulent situation is based on a TV show or movie or a real life scenario! Check out this flyer to see the scenarios.
The US Sentencing Guidelines have identified 7 elements as essential to an effective compliance program. Read about these elements and how Chapman addresses each one.
Day 3
For the third and final day of Compliance Week, we plan to provide you all with helpful tips on how to spot and report fraudulent behaviors. Compliance and Ethics cover many different areas. We’ve collected helpful tips to help you stay compliant and answer most common compliance issues.
Today's activity is the Price Is Right! A fraud or scandal in higher education will be shown and you will have to “bid” (guess) what the penalty was in each instance. Once you’ve determined each of the 3 bids, submit them on the Compliance Week form. Check out this presentation to play!
2023-2024
This year, Compliance Week is from November 6th to November 10th! This year’s theme is “Every Detail Matters.” We will discuss phishing, fraud, and record retention this year. In each of these categories, small details have enormous implications. We’ll provide helpful information and exciting stories.
Day 1 - Even Small Phishes Have Big Impact
Phishing is such an important topic we felt the the need to re-iterate it after IS&T’s Cybersecurity Awareness Month. Please click here to read their article on Phishing.
Phishing relies on the recipient not noticing small details such as incorrect spellings or uncharacteristic requests. Read the handout to find out these small details led to big impacts.
Activity: Spot the Difference
Click the link in inspect both emails. There are at least FOUR items that show the second email is a phishing email. Identify 3 of them to complete the activity.
Day 2 - Fraud Strikes Again!
Fraud is the wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain. Fraud comes in all different shapes and sizes, but they all rely on a deception. Each detail is important. This is why in a shipping environment, it is important to(1) verify that there is an official request for an asset, (2) the asset was paid for was the item actually requested, and (3) the asset was actually received.
Read our fictional newspaper “The Compliance Gazette” to read about how some fraudsters were able to commit their crimes, by changing details about their scheme.
Read the Compliance Gazette here.
Activity: Jeoparty
The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners is celebrating International Fraud Awareness Week from November 12-18, 2023. They have prepared some resources for their event, including “Jeoparty.” We have taken advantage of this resource for your entertainment and used the ACFE’s idea to bring you “Chapman Jeoparty”
Rules: Answer enough questions to earn “$2,000.” Submit your answers here.
NOTE: You do NOT need to answer every question. Only enough questions to earn $2,000
The answer key will be uploaded here after Compliance Week has completed.
Day 3 - Record Retention
Record retention is not an exciting topic, but it is an important task in higher education. If you were a student, you know the importance of being able to go back and requests transcripts from an alma mater. Record retention crosses different regulatory requirements including state and federal departments. A college creates so many different records of a student that it can be daunting to track them all.
