Prosperident Speakers Bureau
What You’ll Learn
- Real dental-embezzlement cases presented by experienced forensic investigators, from employee theft rings to business-partner and spousal fraud.
- How criminals exploit trust, weak internal controls, and inadequate hiring practices to undermine a dental practice’s finances.
- Why some investigative insights are reserved exclusively for in-person audiences and never shared in podcasts, webinars, or articles.
- Who Prosperident’s speakers are — forensic CPAs and Certified Fraud Examiners like David Harris, Wendy Askins, and Amber Weber-Gonzales — and how to book one for your event.
All of the speakers in the Prosperident Speakers Bureau are experienced dental fraud investigators, and in the course of their work, they encounter every imaginable scenario.

From church-going employees who have taken millions of dollars from the dentists they work for, to doctors stealing from their business partners in group practices, to people stealing from their dentist-spouses in the run-up to a divorce, we have seen it all! The cases our speakers present during their seminars are more than just entertaining; they provide excellent teaching points that will help attendees better understand the way criminals work when undermining the financial well-being of their practices. Our speakers’ complete presentation content is available only to in-person audiences.
Our team at the Prosperident Speakers Bureau does plenty of podcasts, webinars, articles, and interviews, but because embezzlers have access to all of these media, there are some topics that we won’t discuss except in front of an in-person audience. We make your meeting become an exclusive venue for dental practice owners to learn and discuss what steps to take to defend their office from internal theft and inadequate hiring practices.

- “Healers versus Stealers: How to Outsmart the Thief in Your Dental Practice”
This is David’s most requested presentation. In it, David will take your audience inside the mindset of an embezzler and arm them with an action plan on how to protect their practices from theft. Attendees will come away with a practical system that will ensure that transactions are accurately captured in their practice management software, and financial results articulate with practice management software, in time than the dentist is probably spending now on financial oversight.
- “How Not to Make the Biggest Hiring Mistake of Your Life”
See David Harris share how the wrong staff get hired and provide the tools and knowledge to find out what you need to uncover before the wrong person is hired.
