Emphasis will be placed on identifying a number of prevention technologies and determining which strategy best prevents certain types of fraud. If a business operates without internal controls to prevent fraud, misappropriation of assets may more easily occur. This course focuses on those environments which are at high risk for fraud because of the lack of internal oversight. Students will study fraud investigative methods and how to create and communicate those findings in an expert report.
Those conducting a fraud accounting need to be able to communicate those findings clearly and accurately. In addition to evaluating whether fraud has occurred and how to prevent it, students will also create a written report to analyze findings. Additionally, studies show that organizations that regularly conduct anti-fraud training experience less fraud.
Recognizing and preventing fraud crime is critical for every business. Additionally, the person who conducts a forensic examination needs to be able to write a professional report detailing their findings. Finally, students will identify and evaluate anti-fraud training methodologies.
The Ten Commandments identify that one should not bear false witness. Those who conduct forensic examinations to prevent fraud must create a report summarizing that examination that will often serve as the basis for their expert testimony under oath.
Students will learn how to fairly, and accurately communicate their findings from a forensic examination.
Believers function in the temporal world, but should not be ruled by sin, instead always working to transform themselves into the image of Christ (John 17:14-15).
Implementing fraud prevention strategies may take place across a number of cultures and countries. Because businesses operate in a global economy, one corporation may operate in a number of countries and be subject to many laws and standards. Further, the fact that a business operates internationally may complicate fraud prevention.
This course will provide students with the practical tools to evaluate methods to prevent fraud, concentrate on how to communicate their findings, and identify effective anti-fraud training strategies.
In addition to reviewing the standards and laws, students will evaluate methods to assist businesses in preventing the commission of fraud.
