Steven was knowledgeable and thorough in his information about the product and what is offered. He was empathetic to my situation. He went above and beyond answering all of my many questions. Excellent service!
Great service and very patient as I asked several questions. Steven answered all my questions and helped me make the right decision in my subscription purchase. Thank you.
It is what it advertised to be. Professional quality training and CPE tracking and certificates; systems knows AZ CPA CPE requirements and categories. I've needed help on several occasions and the assistance was quick and effective; however, there were some problems with data entry. The assistance sometimes asks for input, but when I try to type it is dissallowed for some reason. On several occasions I had to close the popup to get it out of my way.
Great customer service. Classes are pertinent. Great value

A fraud investigation is aimed at examining evidence to determine if a fraud occurred, how it happened, who was involved, and how much money was lost. Investigations occur in cases ranging from embezzlement to falsification of financial statements, to suspicious insurance claims.
This online CPE course is designed to cover the steps of the fraud engagement starting with the determination of whether a fraud investigation should be conducted, working with clients and attorneys, gathering and analyzing evidence, completing an engagement report, and testifying at depositions and trials about the evidence that wasn’t covered during the investigation.
The speaker Dr. Robert Minniti, CPA will walk through ways to document evidence including the use of a chain of custody form. We will look at the ethics and professional requirements for forensic accountants who are conducting fraud investigations. In this continuing education course, examples from real-world investigations will be presented for the participants to consider and discuss.
If you are considering doing a fraud engagement for the first time, are new to the field, or would just like a refresher on the procedures for performing a fraud investigation engagement then this CPE webinar is for you.
If you turn on the news today, you will likely see a story related to fraudulent activity. As criminals and scammers adapt to a world that revolves around the internet, committing fraud has become far easier. According to the Global Fraud and Identity Report, 33% of businesses experienced more fraud losses than they did in the prior year.
Forensic accountants typically begin an investigation and collect evidence when fraud suspicions already exist. Because of this, the data they look for when conducting an investigation include red flags and discrepancies that might indicate fraud has taken place. They may interview staff at an organization to gain more information and attempt to find the individual behind the fraud. Using the gathered information, they begin to form a hypothesis as to what happened and create follow-up plans to continue to assess the business.
The internet is a treasure trove of open-source information: We all leave detailed trails of our lives on social media, professional networking platforms, and online forums. For forensic accountants, all of this material can be instrumental in conducting investigations.
This CPE course is designed for individuals who would like to obtain a basic understanding of conducting online investigations.
Imagine someone taking an automobile to a mechanic for repair. The mechanic asks, "What's the problem?" The customer replies, "I'd rather not say. Just take it apart, and tell me what you find."
Sound crazy? Of course, it does, but it's not that much different from what happens when forensic accountants always start fraud investigations by digging through the financials.
Consider this. What if someone would simply tell the investigator how the fraud was perpetrated—whether the incriminating information was provided by the interviewee intentionally or not? How valuable would that be? How much time would that save compared to a semi-blind search through a company's books?
If you are working in the forensic accounting field at some time in your career it will be necessary to interview a suspect or other individuals tied to the investigation. The main goal of an interviewing strategy is to gather and synthesize enough supporting evidence to provide a sound basis for questioning the suspected fraudster and to elicit an admission of guilt.
This CPE course is designed to review the process for conducting interviews.
Forensic accounting engagements are normally investigated over fraud, dispute, insurance claims, and criminal cases. This engagement is normally called by police, lawyer, or the parties in dispute.
Preparing the fraud investigation report is part of your major responsibility if you are a forensic accountant. This task is normally done at the final stage of your investigation. Forensic accountant’s reports are normally used as evidence to resolve the case and present to the person seeking forensic accounting service, normally a lawyer, the insurance company, etc.
Main elements that should be included in your investigation report:
Through this Online Accounting CPE Webinar Course, you will learn how to draft an effectively written report on a fraud investigation.
