CURRENT ISSUES FOR HEALTHCARE FINANCIAL MANAGERS
"Ethics First" is the primary message Aaron Beam conveys to his audiences. His experience with HealthSouth and the research he’s done about ethics in American business, qualifies him to deliver this compelling story and message on the value of ethical behavior, and the process of achieving it.
Aaron Beam’s story is “the untold story of HealthSouth” one of America’s most successful health care companies and subsequently the perpetrator of a $2.8 B accounting fraud, one of the largest in American history.
Mr. Beam was the first CFO at Healthsouth Corp., and as a co-founder witnessed firsthand the series of accounting, stock manipulation and leadership failures that led
Healthsouth to the $2B securities fraud scandal and ultimate prosecutions of Richard
Scrushy. He relates to students and professionals the heights of success, followed by the unethical and illegal mistakes that led to his professional downfall. Serving three months in federal prison for his role in approving fraudulent quarterly numbers in 1996 and losing his CPA credentials, led Mr. Beam to his current speaking career; trying to make a positive difference by educating others about the pitfalls of unethical business practices.
Through his Ethics First message he identifies early warning signs, influences and the bad choices he and others made at Healthsouth, allowing the audience to apply what they learn to their business practices and the organization's culture and environment.

DECEMBER | 2014 Nebraska Healthbeat
By Troy Bruntz
Tis the season to be enrolling potential patients into the insurance exchange (oh, and to be jolly I suppose  ). The insurance exchanges are beginning a second year with increasing premiums and the ACA’s penalties are increasing as well. Throw in the fact that by Easter the Supreme Court may toss out the subsidies in the Federal Exchange and we could be in for a fun spring. Regardless of our thoughts on the ACA or on the lack of
Medicaid Expansion in Nebraska, as healthcare leaders our communities will continue to look to us for advice and education about the subject. Therefore, HFMA will continue to provide education both live and via webinar at the National and Chapter levels regarding Healthcare Reform.
In addition to the Supreme Court’s decision this coming spring, we will also have a major change in the leadership in Washington.
With the results of the November election, the Republicans will control both the House and Senate. It will be important for us as leaders to stay alert and provide input when we can to our representatives. In January at our Winter Meeting in Kearney,
Joe Harnisch, our Vice President and Programming Chair, has both a Washington and a Nebraska Legislative update planned.
In my last article I explained that membership would be our toughest goal to achieve this year. With two consecutive years of large growth in membership we anticipated a tough time maintaining our membership numbers this year. Thanks to the membership committee and the board, I am happy to announce that as of the end of November we only need one more member to join to meet our goal. With five months to go, that shouldn’t be a problem.
The Chapter survey results will be reported to us soon. We are looking forward to seeing how we did in your eyes this past year and more importantly what you would like us to focus on in the future. After I receive the results, I will review them with everyone prior to the start of our following meeting. Thanks everyone for your attendance at our events live and via webinar so far this year. It is a pleasure serving you this year.
Troy Bruntz, CPA, FHMA
President, Nebraska HFMA

Moreover, Beam reveals the nature and specifics of the fraud and the twisted personality of the driving force behind HealthSouth – Richard Scrushy. Scrushy was a hard-charging, unscrupulous visionary whose caustic, selfish motives and manipulation of Wall Street; despite
HealthSouth’s meteoric success, led to his fall from grace and expulsion from the company he created.
Aaron Beam, Jr. learned a lesson the hard way. His is a cautionary tale with a moral for all: "You have to stand up for what you believe in - or you may be the guy that goes to prison and pays the price."
Please plan to hear Aaron Beam’s message at the
Nebraska HFMA conference on Friday, January 30, 2015 in Kearney Nebraska. This program will be submitted to the Nebraska Board of Public Accountancy for Ethics CPE credit for your CPA permit renewal.
