2-A&A; 2-A&A CPE Credits
George Washington once wrote, “We ought not to look
back, unless it is to derive useful lessons from past errors, and for the purpose of profiting by dear
bought experience.” The cost of fraud, dearly paid by governments and nonprofits, is
too severe not to learn and profit from. In this course, we will look back at
real-world government and nonprofit frauds and derive useful controls to stop them. The
course materials utilize a highly illustrative and innovative format. Over 15
focused exercises are included to provide an enhanced working knowledge of fraud
and anti-fraud controls to both auditors and industry
professionals.
Highlights
Examine real-world misappropriations of cash, check
frauds, vendor scams, credit card abuse, grant frauds, benefit
