2 CPE Most professionals have some understanding of the impact fraud can have on today’s businesses. Individuals who are in the financial and audit fields are familiar with the concepts of the 'fraud triangle' and the elements of 'fraud red flags'.
This course is designed to provide the learner a different experience than typical fraud training. Rather than focusing solely on the technical aspects of why fraud occurs and concepts of the fraud triangle, we utilize real-life case study scenarios to evaluate instances where fraud may be present and test the learner’s ability to identify fraud red flags.
This course includes multiple real-life fraud scenarios and poses questions to the learner about “what would you do”. We review basic concepts surrounding the topic of fraud including the fraud triangle, fraud red flags and the profile of a fraudster. We use these concepts to assist in evaluating real-life scenarios.
This session is designed to provide participants with the opportunity to practice their fraud knowledge.
Learning Objectives

- Identify lifestyle indicators and explore how to manage culture expectations.
- Recognize how to apply techniques to real-life perpetrated fraud scenarios.
- Explore the psychology behind elements of the fraud triangle.
- Explore risks in third-party arrangements.

Course content was great, especially the exercises based on real-life examples. However, the slides were too busy - too much info on them, so more difficult to absorb information at a glance. It would have helped to adjust the formatting of the slides (e.g., bold, italicize, and/or underline certain words; use phrases, instead of long sentences; use color and spacing)

This was an interesting course with thought exercises using scenarios that have actually occurred. You are encouraged to imagine what you would actually do in the scenario yourself. The course discusses the different types of fraud, fraud red flags, the so called "fraud triangle" of opportunity, pressure and rationalization.

It was interesting to see what the different red flags were that could potentially signal fraud and how fraudsters are able to find an opportunity to take action. Very interesting class and an important class for employees of all levels of a business.

The exercises throughout the course help me really grasp how people go about committing fraud. But I'm always bothered when practice material isn't representative of the exam. The practice quiz was easy, but nothing like the exam.

A good introductory course to thinking about fraud using real-life examples. The encouragement to think both what you would likely do and what you should do was a welcome addition.

Great course. I enjoyed how this covered many scenarios for fraud. The use of real-world events is effective in informing us how these situations may arise.
I really like the exercises that allowed the opportunity to demonstrate understanding of the material. It helped prepare for the quiz at the end.
