The CFO Who Went to Prison

Overview

Joshua, a CFO from Chicago, did not go to prison for stealing the $2 million in liquid cash he had access to on a daily basis. Instead, Joshua ended up in prison by rationalizing that he was entitled to a few small perks of the profession. This course explores Joshua’s story and covers how and why executives with high annual incomes make short-sighted decisions that can cost them their job and freedom.
