A Forensic Accountant on How Companies Can Avoid Fraud and Scandal

From Theranos to Enron, we can't get enough of corporate scandals. We also can't get enough of the intriguing people who perpetrate them. But instigators of fraud are not all Disneyesque villains chasing money and power at any cost, says DePaul University accounting professor Kelly Richmond Pope. She studies white-collar crime and finds that besides intentional perpetrators, there are also accidental and righteous ones. And she shares real stories of these long-overlooked employees and explains exactly which behaviors and incentives should raise red flags for managers and leaders. Pope is the author of the new book Fool Me Once: Scams, Stories, and Secrets from the Trillion-Dollar Fraud Industry.

Introducing Auphonic Team Accounts

The new Auphonic team accounts streamline billing for companies, teams, or groups and are available to business users. A team account's owner can invite team members and admins, all of whom share the team account's credits for their productions.

The team account feature only impacts billing. Team members cannot access each other’s productions, presets, etc.
If you're interested in switching to a team account, please contact us!

What are Auphonic Teams?

A team consists of an Owner with Members and optional Admins. The Owner and Admins can add and remove team members as well as change their roles in the team. Every added account can use Auphonic as usual, but only the account Owner's credits are used for billing productions.

This simplifies the invoicing process for teams using multiple Auphonic accounts.
One Owner provides the credits, and all of the team can use them.

Overview of the team accounts section in the account settings.

Inviting Users

After gaining access to the team account feature, you can invite new team members via the team account section on the account settings page. Invited team members can be:

  • Existing Auphonic users
  • New users who do not yet have an account
When inviting users, you can assign them a role: Member or Admin. Sent invitations can be cancelled at any time.

Managing Team Account Members

The team account Owner and Admins can remove members and change roles within the team.

Editing roles

Roles and Permissions

Within the team, there are three roles: Owner, Admin and Member. Each role has specific permissions:

All roles and permissions.

Note, that the Owner role - held by the account creator - cannot be changed manually.
Please contact us if you want to change the owner of a team account!

Billing

The Owner of the team account is responsible for purchasing credits. Productions made by team members will use the team account's credits. As a team account member, you will see the team account owner's credit balance instead of your own.

If you wish to access your personal credits, you can leave the team at any time.

Conclusion

With the introduction of team accounts, we provide a solution to simplify the production process for teams. One account is responsible for providing the credits and all team members can use them collectively!

Contact us if you are a business user and interested in using our new feature.

Feedback

We are always happy to receive feedback on our features!
If you have thoughts, ideas or recommendations, drop us a line using our contact form or email us directly.

We're looking forward to hearing from you!
