Fraud Prevention, Detection, and Reporting

Description/Objectives:
Despite public awareness in the ever-growing problem of economic crime, fraud continues to be one of the most difficult problems of corporate America. Standards promulgators, the SEC, creditors, accounting professionals, and academics have established procedures to limit the destruction of fraud. These initiatives will be discussed in the areas of prevention, detection, and reporting fraud in the workplace. An explanation of techniques used in preventing, detecting, and preventing fraud will be included. There will be a brief discussion about forensic certifications, and a new case study is presented for lively discussion and available for use by paid participants in their classrooms and in presentations to their local accounting societies.

Format/Structure:
A group discussion led by the presenter, focused upon (but not necessarily devoted to) a colorful PowerPoint presentation, a case study available for use by paid participants in their classroom, and a bibliography of works cited.

Intended Audience:
Faculty desiring to add an update of forensic accounting to any upper-level or graduate-level accounting course; auditors and internal auditors desiring information about forensic accounting engagements and certification; and accountants from any sector wishing to stay current in forensic accounting.
