This course is designed to present the most common types of financial statement fraud and embezzlement, illustrated through real cases and situations. We'll distinguish financial reporting fraud from misappropriation of assets and highlight common schemes involving one or both types of fraud. We'll review high-profile cases and other real-world situations to emphasize the CPA's role and responsibility. This course will also touch on updated GAAS requirements. Get ready to examine the methods used to perpetrate and disguise schemes, learn how fraud can be detected by both management and auditors, and explore the CPA's role in preventing and detecting both types of fraud.
