November 13 - Gilliam Center host Cynthia Cooper
Cynthia Cooper headed Internal Audit at WorldCom and courageously led a
small team that covertly investigated and then exposed the multi-billion dollar
fraud that occurred, ultimately resulting in the largest fraud and bankruptcy in
U.S. history at that point. An accountant, Cynthia was named (along with two
other whistleblower's) a Time Magazine Person of the Year in 2002.
She later wrote the book, Extraordinary Circumstances, documenting her
experience. Cynthia is a popular speaker in corporate settings and in
universities.
