  First Responder Finance:  Preventing Fraud at its Core
  

  Description:  When people feel cornered financially, they often make choices they never imagined - some of which cross ethical and legal lines. As fraud investigators, you know the patterns and warning signs. But...what if we could intervene earlier? The First Responder Finance project is rooted in a simple truth: desperate people do desperate things. By equipping those on the front lines (employers, financial advisors, teachers, social workers, law enforcement officers, and healthcare professionals) with foundational financial knowledge, we not only strengthen individual resilience but also reduce the conditions that lead to fraud, abuse, and financial misconduct. This presentation will explore how financial literacy is not just prevention, it's protection.
