Course Description
A series of corporate scandals where employees, investors, and other
stakeholders suffered tremendous losses has 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, and a 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 worldwide damages each year. Fraud is a
