M-CAT Enterprises’ CEO Anyck Turgeon Recognized by World’s Largest Organization of Anti-Fraud Professionals

M-CAT Enterprises (M-CAT) today announced CEO and global security expert Anyck Turgeon has been recognized in the 2013 Anti-Fraud Resource Guide (second edition). The guide is published quarterly by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE), the world’s largest organization of anti-fraud professionals. Selected amongst 65,000 active members, Turgeon is an Austin-based Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE). She has successfully fought white collar crime, globally, with tech innovation for more than 25 years.

TURGEON’S LIFETIME FIGHT AGAINST WHITE COLLAR CRIME:

From an early start in her career, beginning at the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC), Turgeon has upheld technology in the arrest of white collar criminals. It was there she discovered and worked on the largest securities fraud in Canada ‘s history, the Connacher’s Bay Street $1B “bought deals.” The scheme, orchestrated by Gordon Capital Corp. CEO James Connacher, required securities dealers to pay companies in advance for public issues.

Connacher’s mid-size investment firm became one of the heaviest financial hitters, involved in nearly every major takeover deal. Gordon Capital wooed the institutional market by accounting for 15%-70% of daily trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange and setting trading records on the American Stock Exchange. As a result of over-extending its financial position and undercapitalizing loans against massive amounts of securities, Connacher was fined, trading activities were ceased and the firm was brought down to its official disappearance in 1998. Turgeon’s technological expertise led to simultaneous engagements in fraud prevention, detection and resolution at the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX), Thompson Corporation (TC) and Toronto Dominion Bank/Visa Center.

Turgeon credits her success to learning from the following “best leaders” on how to deter fraud and apply technologies towards prevention: George Olah (OSC), James Bailey (TSX), Joseph Oliver (OSC now Honorable Canadian Minister of Natural Resources), Gil Rémillard (former Quebec Minister of International Relations), Marc Pearl (TC), Bradley Foster (TC) and Kenneth Thomson, owner of Thomson Corporation and founder of the famous law and anti-fraud solutions WESTLAW now sold under Thomson Reuters. Inspired by their guidance, Turgeon turned her focus and career towards gaining mastery of innovative technologies.

Throughout her tech years in the United States – especially in the Silicon Valley and Silicon Hills –Turgeon has continued to improve her technological expertise to successfully help numerous victims recover from a variety of embezzlement and financial misconduct cases. CEO Eddy Coenye and elderly couple CEO Jerry Claar and his wife Roe, for example, were assisted in stopping embezzlers, recovering stolen assets and gaining punitive damages – thanks to Turgeon’s tech innovation and mastery.

Already uniquely qualified as a data management and data warehousing expert, as well as a certified fraud examiner, Turgeon is the first certified female data scientist, crowned last month. Combining her latest expertise and premier executive management training from Harvard University and McCombs School of Business / University of Texas and ongoing SANS training in digital forensics, Turgeon is taking the battle to the front line to change the fight against white collar crime with tech innovation.

“Learning one in three decision makers currently do not feel comfortable with the completeness and validity of the data they use is understandable,” says Turgeon. “The gap, unfortunately, expands for fraud fighters, prosecutors and victims,” she confirms.

As an Inmon-certified data scientist—the most sought after experts worldwide—Turgeon can leverage structured data, big data and other unstructured raw content with textual disambiguation to achieve higher analytical velocity and accuracy.

“By accessing and parsing through up to 80 percent of unutilized corporate data, M-CAT Enterprises can anticipate, identify and eliminate fraudulent activity and security breaches across the enterprise pro-actively as well as help victims secure recovery with much more compelling evidence,” explains Turgeon.

Now at the forefront of shaping the anti-fraud solutions for the twenty-first century, Turgeon and her firm M-CAT Solutions can deliver cutting edge solutions for:

– high-wealth individuals and celebrities concerned about fraud scandals;

– corporate executives and governmental decision makers interested in preventing, detecting and resolving fraud incidents promptly and efficiently;

– venture capitalists, shareholders and board members desiring broader, more efficient and more accurate risk assessments;

– defrauded leaders, retired professionals and other consumer victims requiring stolen asset recovery and seeking punitive damages.

Turgeon has been a member of the International Association of Financial Crime Investigators (IACFI) and serves on ACFE’s advisory board member. To review Turgeon’s featured interview, visit:http://www.mcatenterprises.com/Turgeon_AntiFraudResourceGuide.pdf.

HirePurpose Educates Employers Why Hiring Veterans Means Smart Business

On January 22nd, HirePurpose and the Wounded Warrior Project are co-hosting a special event, The Military Talent Pool: Hiring, Managing, & Retaining Another Great Generation to help local and national companies improve military hiring practices. The event will be held from 5-7pm at the New York Athletic Club on 180 Central Park South.

Last year, unemployment among Iraq and Afghanistan veterans trailed the national average by almost 4 percentage points. Though many companies recognize the benefits of hiring veterans, few have the expertise and knowledge needed to attract, evaluate, and retain members of this extraordinary talent pool.

“This is a great opportunity to introduce New York City employers to a variety of methods to hiring veterans,” says Zach Iscol, Founder and CEO of HirePurpose. “Employers can learn why hiring these exceptional young men and women can be incredibly beneficial to their businesses and we are very excited to have partnered with Four Block and the Wounded Warrior Project.”

More than 80 companies, including Wal-mart, Goldman Sachs, Viacom, Delta, Etsy, Securitas, The Ladders, and others from a wide range of industries will be in attendance to learn best practices from leading experts in the veteran employment space. Employers will also hear from a group of recent military veterans and college graduates about the challenges they’ve faced and the types of industries they are interested in.

“Wounded Warriors come to the table with an extraordinary set of soft skills that employers crave,” says Lisa Stern, Economic Empowerment Executive Vice President at the Wounded Warrior Project. “Veterans are loyal, work well independently and as part of a team, are creative, and are mission-focused.”

Linda Cawley, a specialist of the Warriors to Work program for the Wounded Warrior Project, and Mike Abrams, Co-Founder of Four Block Diversity Leadership, a service that provides student veterans with professional development and connects them with internship opportunities at corporations, will lead a panel discussion titled, Hiring, Managing, and Retaining Veterans.

A second panel, Veterans Speak: Employment Challenges Facing Veterans, will be lead by Bryan Adams of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Aubrey Arcangel of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Joshua Ray of Operation Iraqi Freedom-Indonesia Tsunami Relief, and Katie Dexter of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Do You Know How School Prepares You For Success?

All activities that you engage in can be training fields for success. This includes school and all of the activities associated with it including class, extracurricular activities and sports.

The most important aspect of how school prepares you for success is that it teaches you how to learn. In elementary school you learned some of the most important skills of all how to read and write. If you can read and write you can get additional information from books and you can use powerful technologies such as computers and the internet. A person who knows how to read and write has the ability to learn for the rest of his or her life.

School also teaches you how to plan, if you can put together a report you can create a business plan. If you can plan you can organize and apply information.

Socialization and Emotional Intelligence
An equally important example of how school prepares you for success is socialization or emotional intelligence. You can learn how to get along with others, to live and work with them in school. School teaches you vital social skills such as networking and working within the group or organization. It also teaches you how to live and work with those whom you might not get along with.

Through sports and similar activities school teaches you how to strive for a goal and to work with others on a common goal. It also teaches you how to win and lose.

UK Small Businesses Missing The Trick In Market Research

According to London-based MBA & Company, more than half of the 600 small to medium sized companies surveyed are unaware of how to build their business plan and present it effectively to would-be investors.

In the opinion of one leading company, which helps start-ups and SMEs grow their business, the missing link is the well qualified business school graduate – the MBA.

Daniel Callaghan from MBA & Company comments that “many SME owners are unaware that using MBAs is affordable for their company. It is a wonderful, cost effective and largely untapped resource in the UK ”.

There are several possible reasons for this oversight. The survey found two out of three (61%) SMEs would use MBAs to help build their business strategy but had no idea how to find them.

Additionally, there is a common misconception that the use of MBAs is the preserve of large, cash rich companies. Yet the success of small business in the US proves otherwise.

“In the United States and in the larger business culture, using an MBA from a leading business school or a team of MBAs is second nature.”

Callaghan believes many fledgling companies are failing before they get off the ground because they have not produced an effective and comprehensive business plan. An MBA could change this.

“The MBA brings such huge advantages to a business which is struggling to grow and needs investment and planning. Much more needs to be done to make entrepreneurs aware of this”, says Callaghan.

MBA & Company is also calling on the Government to do more to promote MBAs as a business planning resource. 81 per cent of those surveyed were unaware of the Government’s Enterprise Guarantee Scheme, which is designed to provide funding for fledgling businesses.

Poll: 60 percent of Israelis view “power of persuasion and public speaking skills” as President Obama’s strongest personal characteristic. 10 percent consider that his strongest quality is “daring”. A further 10 percent consider that “the striving for excellence” is his most prominent quality. 7 percent think that “authenticity” is the President’s prime quality.

Poll: 60 Percent of Israelis: 'President Barack Obama's Best Quality is His Power of Persuasion and Public Speaking Skills'. 50 Percent: 'Obama is the Best Speaker among Western Countries' Leaders'

Poll’s additional disclosure: fifty percent of Israelis view President Obama as the best speaker among the leaders of the western countries.

These findings were revealed by the first survey of its kind undertaken in Israel by Market Watch, a research and public opinion poll company. The telephone poll was carried out on a national sample of the mature Jewish population in Israel, (aged 18 +), in celebration of the publication in Israel of the new book “Barack Obama’s Secrets of Influence and Persuasion”, by Gil and Nili Peretz.

According to the survey results:
Almost half of Israelis rank President Obama as the best speaker among leaders of the western world.

Poll results:
1. President of the United States, Barack Obama – 47 percent.
2. Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel – 12 percent.
3. President Sarkozy of France – 10 percent.
4. Prime Minister of Italy Berlusconi – 7 percent
5. New Prime Minister of Britain, David Cameron – 2 percent.

Analysis of the survey’s findings reveals additional results:
A: Gender comparison: 66 percent of men in Israel think that President Obama’s most prominent quality is his power of persuasion and rhetoric. A little more than half the women chose this quality (53 percent). The percentage of women, who chose “daring” as the President’s dominant quality, is almost double the number of men (12.9 percent of women versus 6.8 percent of men).

Comparison among the leaders, more than half the men (54 percent) chose President Obama as the best speaker, compared to 41 percent of the women.

President Sarkozy received the support of 11.5 percent of women’s votes, in comparison to 7 percent of men’s votes.

B. Comparison by age: young people at the ages 18 – 24 chose the “daring” quality twice as much as the rest of the population age groups, as President Obama’s strongest quality: 19.8 percent of young Israelis chose this quality. 50.1 percent of them chose his rhetoric ability facing an audience.

The book “Barack Obama’s Secrets of Influence and Persuasion” was written in Hebrew by an Israelis couple who are experts in their fields: the international speaker Gil Peretz, together with the excellence researcher, Nili Peretz, and was published in Israel by “Matar” Publishers, who publish Hebrew translations to works by Jack Weltch, Tom Peters, Spencer Johnson, Ken Blanchard, Lee Iacocca, Harvey Mackay, Robert Kiyosaki, Dan Arieli and Rudolph Giuliani.

Gil Peretz lectures across the globe on Obama’s effective secrets of communication, and the manner they can be utilized in speeches, presentations, sales meetings, and appearances in the media. Over the last two decades, Peretz has been advising and coaching company directors, international corporation chairmen and politicians in various countries, in preparation for important appearances in the media, and toward significant speeches in their career. Among others he has in the past coached and advised two Israeli Chiefs-of-Staff, ministers and ambassadors. Gil Peretz has worked with directors of international organizations such as: Microsoft, Allergan, Merck/MSD, Teva, HP, Hilton, British American Tobacco, Manpower, M-systems, SAP, and more.

Web Content Management Solutions Are Critical for Modern Day Business

Many organizations have hundreds to tens of thousands of pages of web content, which are becoming increasingly more critical to market competitiveness. Web content management solutions provide an efficient and effective means to make the problem of managing all of an organizations web material far more tractable.

Drupal content management systems (CMS) are open source solutions for addressing the problem of managing web content. Among the many reasons for Drupal’s success, its ability to alleviate technical staff members through the powerful and easy to use platform and its ability to integrate with pre-existing content management systems has made it a popular choice.

May, 2010 – databasepublish.com – When it comes to web content management solutions there is no silver bullet. Just as each organization has its own strategic goals and objectives, the various web content management systems on the market provide a broad spectrum of functionality and usability. As a result, it can be challenging to ensure that you are making the right selection for your organization.

For some organizations, a proprietary, out-of-the-box solution, or an out-of-the-box open source solution can work just fine. Other organizations may require varying degrees of tailoring. In either case, a web content management solutions consultant is highly recommended. Since an experienced consultant has worked with a variety of platforms and performed many implementations, that resource can help you reduce costly mistakes, f r o m product selection all the way through implementation.

The Drupal content management systems are exceptionally flexible and provide a solid long term investment opportunity. The drupal cms can be integrated with current systems in order to reduce error and streamline business processes. By reducing manual steps for web publishing, the Drupal CMS improves overall efficiency while reducing burden on technical personnel.

Non-technical personnel can easily manage web content while leveraging the powerful functionality of the Drupal CMS platform. This essentially places the domain of web content into the hands of the content experts. With technical IT personnel liberated to focus on more technical organizational needs the content experts can directly manage blog posts, photo galleries, press releases, video, tagging, e-commerce and searching functionality. With all of these benefits, Drupal content management systems are a compelling choice.

The selection, migration, and implementation of the various web content management solutions is far less risky with the help of a qualified content management consultant. They can help to ensure that the goals of a stronger web-presence, improved website effectiveness, increased workflow efficiency, and organizational consistency are met and/ or exceeded.

Web Content Management System Implementations by the Experts

The increasing diversity of types of content that can be published to the Web, along with the impact that rich content can make to help organizations present their brands to potential customers, has driven thousands of organizations to improve the way staff can create, manage, and publish content through the implementation of a web content management system. The benefits of Web content management systems include increased overall organizational efficiency, more rapid dissemination of information than previously possible, freeing up technical personnel, and placing content experts into direct control of the organization’s Web presence.

In summary, using Web content management system experts is the best way for an organization to reduce risk and ensure an accurate and timely project conclusion.

May, 2010 – databasepublish.com – The effective use of technical personnel is highly desirable for many organizations. Consequently, many organizations choose to employ a competent web content management consultant in order to maximize the impact of a chosen web content management tool.

Web Content Management System Boosts Productivity

Numerous businesses and organizations have chosen to implement a web content management system rather than use a more manual approach to managing their web content. Much of the value in these types of systems is the ability to transfer responsibility from technical to non-technical personnel. As a result, Web content management systems have improved productivity and helped organizations gain better control over the web domain.

Web Content Management System Boosts Productivity

While there are several different web content management systems available on the market, Drupal is one of the more popular and flexible solutions. The open source platform of Drupal makes it easily tailored to integrate with other business systems and third party applications that an organization uses.

May, 2010 – databasepublish.com – There is increased demand for decision makers and executives to make organizational decisions that provide a strong return on investment (ROI). With the right web content management system, an organization can repurpose technical IT personnel from web content responsibility and improve the overall effectiveness of the web content life cycle.

The Drupal content management solution is one of many products on the market. Due to Drupal’s ease of use and powerful functionality, it is among the most popular open-source web content management systems in the World today. Although Drupal is an excellent choice for many organizations, a qualified professional content management consultant is recommended in order to help an organization ensure that Drupal is the right match for that company’s needs.

Much of the value of a content management consultant is in their ability to treat the various content management systems on a level playing field. Additionally, an experienced consultant can act as a catalyst for ensuring that the final implementation provides the greatest ROI. An experienced consultant can provide assistance in request for proposals, request for quotes, translation of technical and proprietary language, implementation, customization, system upgrades, maintenance and any combination thereof.

A given Web content management system may require the creation of a new module, or some tailoring of existing modules, in order to be integrated more seamlessly with pre-existing business systems or third party applications used by an organization. While some hurdles are more difficult than others, a professional consultant can provide time and cost estimates for the desired implementation of the web content management system.

Web Content Management Solutions Drive Website Success

Efficient and effective websites are in no uncertain terms critical components to businesses and organizations these days. In response to the demand for improved Web presence, a variety of Web content management solutions have helped organizations cross the chasm from ad hoc and time consuming Web content management, to tightly integrated Web content management systems.

Web Content Management Solutions Drive Website Success

While there are many different Web content management systems on the market, Drupal content management systems (CMS) provide a useful open source solution to the needs of many organizations. The ability to tailor and integrate Drupal with pre-existing content management solutions and its accessibility to non-technical users make it an exceptional choice.

April, 2010 – databasepublish.com – Choosing among the many Web content management solutions can be a non-trivial task. This is in part due to varying organizational goals, pre-existing systems, system requirements, out-of-the-box functionality, and varying levels of product customizability. When choosing to implement a Web content management system it is highly recommended to obtain help from a knowledgeable Web content management consultant.

A Web content management consultant familiar with Drupal content management systems as well as different proprietary products can provide indispensable value for organizations during part of, or over the course of the entire implementation process. Oftentimes, in-house implementations result in sub-optimal results, primarily due to a lack of expertise with current Web content management solutions. Many pitfalls may be avoided by choosing a content management consultant that is a veteran in the industry.

Drupal web content management solutions may be tailored to integrate with an organization’s current content management system. Additionally, Drupal content management systems are known for their high level of performance and ease of use for the non-technical user. What this means for organizations is that a properly implemented Drupal CMS can eliminate the need for technical personnel to be involved with Web publishing activities.

The advantage of having non-technical personnel managing Web content is that then the content experts can directly manage press releases, blog posts, video, photo galleries, e-commerce, tagging, and searching functionality. In other words with Drupal CMS there is no need to have an IT mediator in-between the content experts and the Web.

April, 2010 – databasepublish.com – Most organizations are filled with highly competent technical staff members. However, because there is a great range of systems and technical areas, many organizations choose to employ a competent Web content management system consultant in order to more efficiently implement a Web content management tool.

There are several reasons justifying such a decision. A Web content management system expert can easily bring experienced staff members up to speed with the current technologies available. Additionally, they can streamline and refine the organization’s vision for the Web content management tool, therefore, maximizing the value of the final system.

An open source solution known as Drupal has become increasingly popular among organizations seeking an easy to use and powerful Web content management tool. Drupal implementations offer great flexibility, allowing non-technical staff members, who are the content experts, to take charge of the website domain, and leaving technical staff members to focus on more technical objectives.

The versatility of Drupal implementations allows organizations to interface with pre-existing content management systems and greatly improve overall efficiency. As a result, Drupal has a good reputation as a valuable web content management system. With Drupal, it becomes incredibly easy to update blog posts, press releases, photo galleries, video, and include search functions and e-commerce requirements on your website.

For reduced risk and additional assurance for a successful implementation, it is advantageous to employ a content management consultant to help easily differentiate among the potential Web content management systems. An experienced content management consultant may provide a better value assessment than a traditional in-house selection team could.

After deciding to implement a Web content management system, the ability to assess the various systems on a level playing field is highly beneficial. This includes examining core functionality, customizability, and the potential integration capability with existing systems. Naturally, timelines for different phases of the project and cost of the entire project are important to consider as well.

An experienced content management consultant is excellent at not only placing the various attributes and benefits of different systems into perspective, but they are also exceptional at providing insight into viewing a Web content management system in ways that may otherwise go unnoticed. In other words, a professional consultant can help eliminate the sales pitch aspect of procuring a system and provide solid recommendations for value added efficiency.

The consultant’s level of experience with a broad range of content management solutions is important to consider when choosing a Web content management system. A consultant that is familiar with implementing and tailoring not only Drupal content management systems but a wide-range of content management solutions can help reduce any bias that might arise f r o m a consultant who is only familiar with one type of system.
