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. Occupational fraud is a giant global industry. Organizations are losing an estimated 5% of revenues to employee fraud each year according to the experts at the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ASFE). Does that statistic shock you? Are you in disbelief that the number could be so high? In this course, we are going to discuss how employees are doing it, how we can detect it, and most importantly, what can be done to prevent it in the first place. We will use the research of the ASFE to look at the fraud cases under investigation to reach a deeper understanding of this issue. You will be astounded, you may be surprised, but the goal of this course is to make you enlightened.

No prerequisites for this course.

Lecture 1 :
Fraud in the Workplace. Preview
Employee fraud causes businesses and organizations to lose trillions of dollars each year, yet how often do you come across a management agenda that has fraud prevention on it. In my experience, it is very rare. It's human nature to want to trust their colleagues, those with whom they spend a third of their daily existence working along side. But more often than you think, some of these people may be taking advantage of the company for their own personal benefit. As the leader to whom such a responsibility this matter lies, you should at least acknowledge the risk as a starting place. Maybe through the course of these short lessons, you'll begin thinking about it some more and take some action if you haven't already. As a second step, you might share this course with some of your fellow executives to get their thoughts.

Lecture 1 :
Fraud Schemes.
Some might argue that I'm just giving potential fraudsters ideas for how to better steal the company's assets in this lesson. I would refute this argument simply on the basis that they either already know this stuff, or will learn it from somewhere else anyway. So let's put some of the most common schemes right out there in the open so that at least we know what we are dealing with. In this lesson, we will discuss some of the more common fraud schemes, but don't believe for a second, that I can cover all the possible ways your employees can steal from the company in 10 minutes.
Section 3 : Fraud Triangle. 1 Lectures 00:02:18
Lecture 1 :
Fraud Triangle.
There is a small portion of the population that is just has lower morale standards and this alone drives their need to steal. However, for a much bigger percentage, the act of committing fraud is caused by a common set of underlying factors. If you understand your enemy's motivation better, then you can proactively implement fraud controls to lessen this risk. Fraud experts call this paradigm the fraud triangle. Watch this lesson to learn more.
