Advanced Forensic Accounting  

Fraud, by its very nature, is intended to be hidden. Fraud can masquerade as a labyrinth of complex entries or concepts, very easily meeting its target to deceive. Fraud is not complicated, yet it employs a pervasive role in today's corporate environment. Individuals and organizations can no longer afford to ignore fraud. The decision to disregard the existence or impact of fraud becomes a fraudster's opportunity. It is rare the organization or individual who can escape from the occurrence of fraud. This intermediate level course is most appropriate for the professional with detailed knowledge in forensic accounting or the professional seeking to expand his or her knowledge base and who may be at a mid-level position within an organization with operational or supervisory responsibilities, or both.

This course meets the requirements to qualify for the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (CFE) fraud category, but it does not meet the requirements for California Fraud credit because it is not specifically focused on the prevention, detection, and/or reporting of fraud affecting financial statements.
