Join us for another Southwest Ohio ACFE Chapter community service event!  More information about the event can be found here:  https://www.cincyethics.org/high-school-ethics-bowl/

Our chapter volunteered at this event in 2025 and 2026. Each year, the event was held by the Cincinnati Ethics Center and the University of Cincinnati. Teams from high schools in the Southwest Ohio region analyzed and discussed complex ethics cases. The event differs from a speech and debate competition in that teams are not tasked with presenting and defending opposing views; rather, they choose an ethical position on an issue, present their position in a logical manner, and respond to questions and constructive criticism from the other team and the judges.

We assisted at the events by serving as judges and room assistants. While the cases ventured outside of our normal fraud topics, contemplating and encouraging ethics is always relevant to our work as CFEs, and it was exciting to see area high schoolers – the future leaders of our area – embracing ethical discussions. 

Please join us again this year! Sign up and note your availability directly with the event coordinators: https://www.cincyethics.org/high-school-ethics-bowl-volunteer/
