Forensic Accounting: Conducting Background Checks & Suspect Profiles 2 Credits
Select your learning mode
Just because you know someone, it doesn’t mean that person is safe. Statistics show that “friendly fraud” is on the rise. Unfortunately, “friendly” doesn’t refer to a nicer, less devastating form of fraud — it refers to the fact that the perpetrator is someone you know, like a roommate, casual acquaintance, or even a relative, which arguably makes the scam even more devastating. Because of this, it’s wise to choose the people we allow into our lives carefully.
Doing a background check will help you discern if someone is trustworthy before they begin working in your home, at your business, or with your children.
While doing a background check, we can search for any red-flag signs of fraud, or any other disturbing findings, like previous (or current) lawsuits, arrests, warrants, bankruptcy declarations, eviction notices, and much more.
This CPE course is designed for individuals who would like to obtain a basic understanding of conducting background checks and suspect profiles. This continuing education course will discuss resources and methods for conducting background checks and suspect profiles and the ethical and legal issues that arise while conducting background checks and suspect profiles.

I enjoyed this and felt this presenter was the best I observed this year. The presentation moved along, not repetitive, nor commenting on very obvious points.
PG
This was very interesting information not just for Forensic Accountants and PI's, but also for everyone in the accounting profession. Very good Webinar.
