Event Description:
Young doctors sometimes arrive at an exotic medical diagnosis (You’ve got Kuru!) when a more commonplace explanation is likely (You’ve got a cold). These diagnoses are known as Zebras and doctors are taught, “When you hear hoofbeats, think of horses not zebras”.

Sometimes, the patient really has a rare disease and suffers from misdiagnosis and subsequent improper treatment. Similarly, managers, auditors, and investigators often see indicators of fraud, but dismiss them because they’ve been taught or assume based upon experience that it is just a mistake that looks like fraud. This session uses case studies to explore some of the more common symptoms of fraud that are often misdiagnosed.
