It’s always a pleasure to volunteer at Miracle Hill as part of our new hires’ orientation week! Community is at the heart of why we do what we do.
Join us in congratulating our Senior BSA and Fraud Investigator, Sarah Burns, on being named to Greenville Business Magazine’s Best & Brightest 35 and Under! This award recognizes young South Carolinians who have made a difference in their communities and the business world.
At Spero, Sarah works closely with law enforcement to disrupt criminal use of the financial system. Through educational campaigns, internal trainings, and direct intervention, Sarah ensures that our members are protected from fraudulent activity.
Sarah also recently obtained her Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) designation from the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners. This required her to master key areas of fraud deterrence, meet stringent professional and ethical standards, pass a rigorous four-part examination, and commit to ongoing professional development with continued education requirements.
Sarah`s expertise is a major asset to Spero, and we’re so thankful to have her on our team!
