Course Description

Fraud is a threat to every organization and can cost millions of dollars. As auditors, we must constantly be on the lookout for it. Every major audit standard has some fraud provisions that auditors are required to follow. You can't get around it. It starts with the planning process and carries on throughout the audit engagement. 

Auditors are not expected to be fraud experts like Certified Fraud Examiners. However, every auditor should be familiar with the key fraud red flags and the major fraud schemes. They are responsible for identifying fraud risks and providing assurance that the controls in place are adequate and effective in mitigating those risks. 

Learning Objectives:


  • Define the three broad fraud categories 

  • Review certain information from the 2024 ACFE global report 

  • Identify likely departments where fraud occurs 

  • Outline fraud schemes for various departments 

  • Determine auditors’ responsibility related to fraud
