Description
Savvy accountants pay attention to fraud trends so they can implement preventive and/or detective controls. This course examines novel frauds to explore potential mitigation measures. Participants will see how selected frauds were accomplished so they can consider internal controls that could have foiled the fraudsters' nefarious efforts. We examine broad ethical considerations and specific provisions of the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct. Along the way, we consider dramatic details of several fraud cases to illustrate practical applications that accountants can apply in their professional endeavors.
