When auditing for fraud, it is important for an auditor to understand the different types of fraud, who commits fraud, and the causes of fraud. This course debunks the common fraud myths and details reasons why auditors often fail to detect fraud. Instructor Dennis Dycus livens up the course with fascinating examples from his decades of auditing experience and discusses ten commandments to improving your chances of detecting fraud by recognizing the danger signs.
