The investigations contact person is usually the integrity manager, internal auditor, risk manager, head legal or anyone in the organization that is independent of the processes in which the fraud took place. Continued from Part 2. Fraud cases have high reputational risk. For this, I always encourage the CEO to bring all fraud cases to the attention of the board. You want the board to be part of the decision early one so that there are no surprises. Many times, the CEO is the investigations report owner working closely with the audit committee chair. The Group CEO assigned the Internal…
Nowhere to hide: Chapter 2: The issue, Part 2
When you share a bed with someone, you become considerate. I try to move slowly out of bed so that miss Accountability is not affected. Not easy. “The case has already gone to your brains. You need to take it slow”, she says. Good morning Amooti. Continued from Part 1. I say as I proceed to my seven minutes daily routine. At first, I used the first hour of waking up on reading. Now, I dedicate it to indoor cardio. I find the 7minutes exercises, by Perigee handy. Just two ‘circuits’ of any exercise in the morning are fantastic. It…

Are you disciplined? Do you keep time?
For the early development of a child, you need the love of a mother and the discipline of the father. However, I know many children are not lucky to have the presence of both parents in their lives. These kids need the love and discipline of the parent in their lives. Children learn by doing not by talking. Poor children have the advantage of seeing their parents in action daily. A single mother will be restless until she finds what to eat. This provides great lessons to children. Rich parents who expose their children to action at an early age…
To win, you need the discipline of self-study
Do not wait to be taught by the teacher to learn. Undertake self-study. It is your daily duty to read on your own and then if you can, teach others. When you teach others, you learn better. I have learned a lot in life through self-study than in the classroom. Whether you watch a television show or read a fictional book, be on the lookout for ideas to apply in your life or career. What lessons do you learn from the story being told? Even a show like the Kardashians will teach you lessons of confidence if you watch with…
