When stories of fraud make the news, they can look so obvious after the fact. Regardless of whether the fraud was material, the media and the public frequently ask how the auditor and those within the entity could not have detected the fraud. Fraud can be very difficult to detect, particularly without the luxury of hindsight. In this course, examine more than 20 frauds and study how they happened (and how they could have been prevented or detected).

This course offers a lower price point because it's led by a new speaker who recently completed the MNCPA Instructor Development Program.
