Private Eyes of Corporate Culture Paul Regan (MS 79) pioneers the field of forensic accounting. Corporate fraud is on the rise, and Enron goes down. Regan gives three days of testimony as an expert witness in federal court against Kenneth L. Lay, Jeffrey K. Skilling, Andrew S. Fastow, et al., explaining the ins and outs of the top Enron executives’ financial schemes and manipulations that inflated the company’s stock prices. Three years later, he presents an opportunity to Canning, who develops a forensic accounting program months after the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) designates “certified financial forensic” (CFF) as a specialty credential. The program’s curriculum is created by a newly appointed advisory board of professional experts. Available entirely online, GGU’s innovative program has received national recognition. Regan
