Speaking Topic Examples
The Thief in your Company
Tiffany Couch has seen theft in many forms, but what sticks with her is the emotional devastation that these crimes leave in their wake. The Thief in Your Company helps all organizations learn how to protect against fraud schemes, recognize the typical fraudsters, take specific steps if fraud is discovered and understand the emotional impacts of fraud.
Professional Skepticism
As auditors and investigators, having professional skepticism is not only a critical skill, but a requirement under professional standards. But what does professional skepticism look like and how does one hone their skeptical mind? In this course, we will use examples of actual documents and verbatim conversations that turned otherwise ordinary interactions into fraud investigations uncovering losses in the millions.
Interviewing skills for Auditors
Your professional standards require you to consider the risk of fraud in an organization and to rely on interviews of management and staff to satisfy this requirement. We'll talk about the fact that just 4 percent of all frauds are discovered by external auditors, examine the reasons why those statistics are so low, and incorporate ways to bring more success to the informational interviews you conduct as an auditor.
Understanding Financial Reports
As an entrepreneur you are great at what you do, delivering your products or services, connecting with your customers, and building a business. But below all of that success, you worry that you don't understand your financials. You may ask yourself some of the following: "Why is it that my income statement shows I'm making money, but I have no cash in the bank?" "What is a balance sheet and why is it important to my business?" "Why doesn't my accountant help me understand these numbers?" Your financials shouldn't scare you; they should empower you. Let Tiffany show you how.
Money Matters
Money. At the heart of every business and every human is the want and need for money. And despite knowing the "money rules" about saving and budgeting and limiting debt, so many of us continue in broken cycles of scarcity when it comes to money. What if you could change your outlook... and your relationship... with money? We'll dive into hard truths about the mixed messages we've inherited, the shame and fear most of us carry around our relationship with money, and simple tools to lead you on the path to abundance.
Additional Topics
Tiffany can tailor her topic to fit your particular industry or audience. With her engaging style and practical tools, you and your audience will not be disappointed. Some additional topics might include corporate internal audit or investigator training, elder abuse, building a culture of honesty and fraud in specific industries.

"I cannot say enough about Ms. Couch and Acuity Forensics. In an extremely complex case, involving dozens of critical accounting issues, Acuity Forensics provided superb analysis. Ms. Couch and her crew were unfailingly responsive, professional, and efficient. Acuity Forensics' report was a centerpiece of our client's damages case. In preparing it, Acuity Forensics analyzed tens of thousands of documents and uncovered claims that we had not even known about at the beginning of the case. And, although the accounting issues were complex, Ms. Couch presented them in an easy to understand way at trial. If I ever need a forensic accounting firm in another case, Ms. Couch and Acuity Forensics will be at the top of my list."
