Course Description

Fraud continues to plague businesses at epidemic levels and internal control omissions and failures are a large reason fraud occurs. Using a case study approach, in this session you will learn about the pervasiveness of fraud, the control failures that contribute to fraud, and what you can do to mitigate fraud risk.
