Case Studies in Fraud (Currently Unavailable)

Author: Paul McCormack

Corporate fraud is never far from the business headlines. When a case appears in the press, either as a result of inaccurate reporting, or lack of publicly available details, we don't always learn a great deal from the coverage. This course helps practitioners take a fresh look at high profile cases, and revisit the lessons learned. It includes cases from the US and overseas, and provides techniques to help participants analyze cases as they evolve over time.
