Guarding Your Wealth After 60: A CFO's Guide Against Scams and Cyber Fraud

By Ron Rian

A former Chief Financial Officer applies three decades of corporate fraud-prevention discipline to the one balance sheet most retirees defend completely alone: their own.

Financial fraud against people over sixty isn't a story about gullibility. It's a systems failure - and systems can be fixed.

Ron Rian spent his career inside the finance departments of major corporations, where a single unverified instruction can move millions, and where the answer was never "trust more carefully." It was always process: reconciliation, verification, a mandatory pause before any significant transaction. Those same habits, scaled down to fit an ordinary week, are what this book teaches.

This isn't a book of frightening scam stories. It's a calm, structured guide to the handful of habits that actually stop fraud before it happens - written by someone who spent a career building exactly these controls for a living.

Inside, you'll learn:

Why financially sophisticated, careful people are targeted just as often as anyone else - and the three psychological levers every scam relies onA 20-minute monthly reconciliation routine, adapted directly from corporate finance, that catches problems before they become lossesThe exact questions to ask your bank, broker, or advisor that most people never think to askHow to verify a call, video, or voice message when AI voice cloning means you can no longer trust your ears aloneHow to involve family in your financial safety without giving up an ounce of independenceThe first 24 hours after a suspected fraud - and why speed matters more than anything elseA CFO's five-question framework to run through before any financial decision, for the rest of your life

Plus a full appendix: a glossary of common fraud terms, a printable monthly checklist, and a step-by-step guide for the family conversation many people put off indefinitely.

You spent decades building what you have. This book gives you the same disciplined thinking that protects a company's finances - applied, finally, to your own.
