  • To identify and analyze the three components of the Fraud Triangle model.
  • To explain how to utilize the Fraud Triangle model as a practical tool for identifying and managing fraudulent risks.

Course Overview

Curious about the driving forces behind unethical behavior within organizations? Dive into the realm of regulatory ethics with our online webinar. Developed by Donald Cressey over 50 years ago, this model sheds light on the intricate factors influencing fraudulent activities.

Fraud, collusion, and embezzlement aren't just theoretical concepts; they pose tangible risks to organizational integrity. Throughout this CPE webinar, we'll dissect the Fraud Triangle, dissecting its core elements: pressure, opportunity, and rationalization. By grasping these interconnected components, you'll gain profound insights into the dynamics of unethical conduct.

But we won't stop at theory. Through a series of real-world case studies, we'll apply the Fraud Triangle model to analyze how fraud begins, remains concealed, and eventually gets uncovered. This pragmatic approach equips you with the skills to proactively identify and mitigate fraudulent risks in your organization.

Upon completion of this CPE Auditing Course, you'll not only define key terms like fraud, collusion, embezzlement, and management override but also learn how to effectively utilize the Fraud Triangle model. Elevate your understanding of regulatory ethics and fortify your organization against potential threats. Join Thomas Coghlan on this enlightening journey through the Fraud Triangle and take proactive steps toward maintaining ethical standards within your organization.

Key Topics:

  • Fraud Triangle Model
  • Components of Fraud: Pressure, Opportunity, Rationalization
  • Real-Life Case Studies
  • Identifying and Managing Fraud Risks
  • Application of Fraud Triangle in Ethical Analysis

Mr. Coghlan lives up to the heritage of his last name. I was completely engaged in his one and a half hour narrative of the explication of motivation, justification, and opportunity. The stories that were revealed of these concepts was really first rate. To my CPA collogues, don't miss out on a truly remarkable explanation of the violation of trust in the human condition. To the schedulers of myCPE, please include many more presenters who have similar competencies. The value is not only the message but more importantly the messenger. Finally, please schedule Mr. Coghlan for many more sessions. Thank you!.
