Course Overview

According to a study conducted by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE), fraudulent financial statement accounts for approximately 10% of incidents concerning white-collar crime. Asset misappropriation and corruption tend to occur at a much greater frequency, yet the financial impact of these latter crimes is much less severe. ACFE defines fraud as "deception or misrepresentation that an individual or entity makes knowing that the misrepresentation could result in some unauthorized benefit to the individual or the entity or some other party." Greed and work pressure are the most common factors pushing management to deceive investors and creditors.

Financial fraud is a serious white-collar crime that often comes with heavy punishment and fines. If you are an auditor or a preparer of financial statements you need to be aware of the red flags or potential red flags for fraud in the financial statements.  Other users of the financial statements including shareholders, regulators, and creditors, will also find this useful. We will discuss potential red flags for fraud in the financial statements including the types of transactions that can be used to create fraudulent financial statements.

Peter W Fierro, CPA (US)

As stated, this was a basic level class, so I really didn't learn much new. But the material was good, and the presenter was very good. Much appreciated that it ended right at the 100-minute mark - "Blessed are the brief, for they will be invited back..."
