About Our Speakers:

Marilyn Prosch, Ph.D, Associate Professor, Department of Accounting, Arizona State University is a member of the AICPA's Privacy Task Force, which developed the Generally Accepted Privacy Principles.  Dr. Prosch is a full-time faculty member at ASU where she teaches Data Protection and Privacy Auditing.  She has met with the Federal Trade Commission, Department of Commerce and the Ontario Privacy Commissioner several times over the past six years on the issue of data protection.

Dr. Prosch’s presentation will be on Data Protection and Generally Accepted Privacy Principles.  Protecting personal information is a major concern for organizations of all types.  In the U.S. alone, over 170 privacy breaches have already occurred during 2006, including universities, not-for-profits, government agencies and large corporations.  The FTC is increasingly sanctioning businesses and requiring privacy audits for companies that have both intentional and unintentional privacy breaches.  This seminar will introduce privacy risk assessment techniques and the AICPA's Generally Accepted Privacy Principles (GAPP). 

Ann Cavoukian, Ph.D, Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario, Canada is recognized as one of the top privacy experts in the world.  She is Ontario’s first Information and Privacy Commissioner to be reappointed for a second term.  Businesses across North America and Europe regularly seek the commissioner’s advice and guidance on privacy and data protection issues.  Dr. Cavoukian received her M.A. and Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Toronto, where she specialized in criminology and law, and lectured on psychology and the criminal justice system.  An avowed believer in the role that technology can play in protecting privacy, her leadership has seen her office develop a number of tools and procedures to ensure privacy is protected in Ontario – and around the globe. 

Dr. Cavoukian's presentation is titled, “Identity Theft - Fraud at its Worst:  The Implications of Information Insecurity”

Identity theft and fraud,

Organized crime online,

Phishing and pharming and breach notification. 

Dr. Cavoukian will also give a brief overview of privacy ("Privacy 101") including a description of the Commissioner's mandate and powers.
