Course Overview

A series of corporate scandals where employees, investors, and other stakeholders suffered tremendous losses have made the world aware of the severity of financial statement fraud. Their motives were either to manipulate share prices for their gain or to gain incentives by showing good performance and hiding bad news.

In current times, due to pressure from owners, lack of internal controls, and integrity, financial frauds are common and it is a global scourge that harms the reputations of all industries and costs trillions of dollars in worldwide damages each year. Fraud is a persistent fact of business life. The risks of fraud are only increasing fueled by changes in corporate culture, competitive markets, and periods of economic difficulty. Effective fraud prevention and detection begins with awareness.

Major topics highlighted in the Auditing CPE webinar:

  • What exactly is financial statement fraud?
  • Why financial statement frauds are conducted?
  • Who commits Financial Statement Fraud?
  • How they are committed - Some general categories?
  • How to detect if there is any fraud in financial statements using analytical methods?

The goal of this CPE course is to enhance professionals' abilities to recognize fraudulent activities and develop strategies to deter misconduct.

Disclaimer:

  • The goal of this CPE course is not to teach you how to carry out financial statements.
  • Analytical methods only show symptoms of fraud, there is no guarantee to detect all. Users and auditors need to dig deeper into financial statement details to uncover any financial statement fraud.
