Hello!

I am a writer for Insight magazine, a Chicago-based finance and
accounting publication issued by the ICPAS. I'm working on an
article about how we've seen an increase in fraud that may be
related to our current pandemic.

Questions are included below, and any response by this Wednesday
at 5p central would be greatly appreciated. You may not be able
to answer every question, but your thoughts on any or all of the
questions is helpful. You will also have the opportunity to
approve the article prior to press.

- Please introduce yourself as you would like to be identified
in the article, name and title? - Why are we seeing an increase
in fraud in today's pandemic? Is it related to the pandemic, or
is it a natural progression? - What are some examples of
internal fraud that we might see as a result of the COVID-19
crisis? - What about cybersecurity, have we seen an increase in
cybersecurity threats fueled by COVID-19? Why? - Why should
companies have increased vigilance in today's environment? -
Could you provide advice on how companies can leverage their
data to identify potential fraud? - Turning now to the Payroll
Protection Program, what types of fraud have we seen arise from
this, and how can it be prevented?

Thank you in advance for your time, I very much appreciate your

Query:

Hi, I am working on a story about the next coronavirus relief
package. Republicans want to offer liability protection for
restaurants, factories, hotels, hospitals, universities, nursing
homes, to make sure employers can't get sued every time a worker
gets sick. This could save more than $100 billion in litigation
costs to employers and ultimately workers, according to an
economist. What is your view on the liability protection? As a
business owner are you concerned about coronavirus-related
lawsuits? Do you believe this protection should be included in
the next bill? Do you believe this is an important factor in
opening the business?

Deadline: 10:00 PM EST - 22 July

Query:

I am working on a story for SearchBusinessAnalytics on how to
get involved with data for public good focusing on racial
justice or working to eliminate racial bias. Background: Data is
often used by enterprises to drive consumers to products or
adjust marketing/advertising efforts. But data can also be used
to enact social change or address underlying problems of bias.
Much of that data is also publicly available or available for
community collaboration. How can data scientists get involved in
public good projects using their skills? What data projects
exist on a large scale that they can get involved in as
volunteers? We would like the story to act as a similar resource
guide to the one we did for COVID-19 data initiatives:
https://searchbusinessanalytics.techtarget.com/feature/COVID-19-data-resources-for-volunteering-data-scientists
I am looking for sources that can elaborate on some of the
important initiatives in this area by 7/22/20 that touch on the
questions below: - How can data lead to social good relating to
racial justice and equality? -How can data scientists get
involved in public good projects using their skills? -What data
projects exist on a large scale that they can get involved in as
volunteers? -What are some good place to find public data sets?

this level. We can also include a bulleted list of the chemical
compounds in cannabis that people often refer to.

Okay, so what is CBG? Here we can explain this particular
compound, and why people are talking about it right now? Are
there any purported health benefits? Any studies on it? Does it
have psychoactive effects no?

So CBG is *not* the same thing as CBD then? Here, let's clarify
how they are different and impact you differently (if that's the
case!). What are the potential benefits of CBG? Here, let's
spell out using a bulleted list (and incorporating research
where applicable in addition to expert quotes) to list any
mind-body benefits of CBG specifically. Is it being used or
studies for pharmacological or therapeautic reasons in the
health care space right now?

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 22 July

Query:

I'm investigating the extent to which layoffs/furloughs/shifts
in daily schedules that come from working from home as a result
of the pandemic have changed the way people are interacting with
political campaigns this year. Are people able to engage
with/work more closely on campaigns in 2020 because of the
changes brought about by COVID-19?

Requirements:

I'm looking to chat with people on both sides of the aisle who
are working on/with 2020 political campaigns because of changes
to their work/daily schedule prompted by the pandemic.

I'm also looking for experts in the political field who can
speak on this trend.

Please reply to this query with your qualifications. If I think
you're the right fit, I will email you with additional questions.

No direct emails, please!
