This course had all of the basics one would expect in an introductory fraud course. However, I found the pace to be unnecessarily drawn out. I think this material could be streamlined and the class time shorten significantly, without compromising the core material.

I didn't like that definition of the fraud is too simplified in this course, though it's OK for practical usage. What I really liked is FR mitigation cycle, I never met such good representation of the process; and the list of red flags is important and useful.

Very good basic introductory information to help any business think about where they need to start to prevent fraud. Fraud is a risk to all size entities and all types of businesses and anyone who subscribes to illumeo can benefit from this course.

This was a very good review of the basics of employee fraud. The instructor is very easy to follow, knows the subject matter, and has a pleasant speaking voice. I will look for more course from this instructor.

I liked the instructor mentioning the audience that no matter how diligent you are in fraud risk assessment there will always be individuals who will cross the line. Internal controls are so important.
A very good introduction with detailed content in many areas particularly the different types of fraud, the red flags to watch for and the many different options for internal controls to prevent fraud

The information is something all auditors should know. I wish we could have seen more information about fraud will change with more automation and electronic documents.
