In this course, we are going to tackle a topic that doesn’t factor into many senior financial leader’s agendas all that often or until something happens, that is, fraud in the workplace.
Fraud in the workplace is a serious issue that often goes unnoticed by senior financial leaders—until it’s too late.

Through case studies and investigative findings, this course will open your eyes to the risks that may be lurking within your organization.
