LICFE - President's Message - Long Island Chapter of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners

The next meeting of the LICFE will be at 6:00PM, on Wednesday, September 12th, at the Westbury Manor. It is our pleasure to welcome as a co-host of this meeting the members of The Society of Professional Investigators (www.spionline.org). This TWO CPE CREDIT meeting will feature as Guest Speaker, Handwriting Expert Ruth Brayer. Ms. Brayer is the President of Brayer Handwriting International, and a much sought-after speaker and expert witness. Brayer is the author of "Detecting Forgery in Fraud Investigations: The Insider's Guide". She serves on the Board of Editorial and National Advisors for Inside Fraud Bulletin, an international security publication. Ruth Brayer is the former Vice President of the National Bureau of Document Examiners of NY, past President of the National Speakers Association, Metro NY chapter, and a member of National Association of Document Examiners and the American Society for Industrial Security.

By popular demand, the "Case of the Month" will be presented by Barry L. Pulchin. When I asked our own radio personality, "Bearman" for the title of his presentation, he told me it will be a surprise. So, I guess we will have to wait and see!

The Seminar Committee has been working for more than six months, together with our educational partners in the Nassau/Suffolk Chapter of the National Conference of CPA Practitioners, to plan a great FULL DAY, 8 CPE CREDIT Seminar. The Seminar will be held on Thursday, November 15th, at The Westbury Manor.

If any Chapter Member would like to volunteer to either be a guest speaker, or present a Case of the Month, please call the Chapter Office, or send an e-mail to info@licfe.org. As a reminder, Chapter meetings, as well as dues can be easily charged by calling the Chapter Office. Dues can also be charged on our Secure Server at www.licfe.org, with a click on Membership Application. Finally, the Advertisement section of the LICFE Web Site is still open. Anyone wishing to place a banner ad on the site, with a direct company link, can do so by sending the HTML Code for the banner to me at dez@zeldin.org. As an added Membership Benefit, there will be NO CHARGE for Chapter Members and Associates, through the end of this year.

I hope everyone has had a safe and enjoyable summer. On a personal note, I would like to thank all of the Chapter Members who called, visited and sent warm wishes, while I spent the past ten weeks recovering from a broken leg. As you may have guessed, I broke it on Memorial Day, falling off my Waverunner.

Very truly yours,

David E. Zeldin, CFE
President
