I recently attended the Soup to Nuts: The Fraud Risk Assessment Process class in Boston. I would like to share that this was one of the very few classes I truly enjoyed as it exceeded my expectations both in content and experience as a “student”. The material for the class is shared prior to the class which allows you to better prepare for the topics of discussion. I related to the material both on a professional and personal level – fraud can happen anywhere! The class was very interactive giving everyone an opportunity to learn and network with one another. Danny Goldberg, the instructor, is an extraordinary instructor. He engages and challenges everyone, thinks outside the box by looking for ways to ensure everyone’s energy (both physical and mental) is up the whole time, by having stories and examples that everyone can relate to, and even offers prizes for best participants/teams as an additional incentive. I would love and look forward future classes taught by Danny G.!

Thank you for leading the session on Rethinking the Audit Process.  I enjoyed it a lot as you were able to engage participants throughout the day to keep it interesting and educational at the same time.  Thanks again and I hope to attend and I hope to attend other trainings that you lead in the future.

The Practical Ethics course was extremely interactive and encompassed many different subjects and situations. It was very interesting and helpful to hear several different perspectives on these issues and made you think of how you would respond in specific situations and why. I can definitely take some of the thinks I learned in this class and apply them in real-life situations.

“I enjoyed the training on Fraud and Project Management. You have a great way of keeping people engaged and interested without putting them on the spot. I found a lot of your material interesting.” -Attendee, Audit Manager

I just wanted to drop a quick note saying thank you for yesterday’s training. The group was the most genuine and engaged I’ve experienced – very neat to be a part of it. In our small group discussions, it was so rich in dialogue – I will use it in my daily life many times over. Non-Auditor Attendee, Central North Dakota IIA April 2016  

  Danny is a great speaker and the review of the audit process is critical because many times, we might think we are being valuable to our institution, but we have some areas that we may lack. The discussions with the audience were helpful because I got to hear similarities and differences among audit shops because everyone has certain ways that they conduct their processes. As still being fairly new to internal audit, this session really opened my eyes more to the audit process and the ways that we should carry ourselves among our colleagues in the institution.

“I wanted to thank you for your time teaching the class. I enjoyed how engaging it was and thought I got a lot of information out of it.” “Thank you for making it so fun! I honestly wasn’t expecting to laugh so much, but I really appreciate that you kept the training lighthearted and engaging.”  

I’ve been a member of the IAFCI since 1996 and had the pleasure to attend the IAFCI Training Conference in Fort Worth last month.   I really enjoyed your presentations on “ Practical Ethics part 1 & 2”. It was hands-down the best ethics session I have ever attended.  

I attended your Project Management seminar today and found it very interesting and motivating!  Would you please send me the project planning and status templates that you referenced today?  Feel free to include any other template along these lines and throughout the process that may be helpful. I look forward to attending other seminars that will be available later this year.
