Course description
Students learn about government, small medium enterprise (SME) and not-for-profit (NFP) frauds including: contract rigging, funding entitlement programs, fictions or double billing schemes, and kick back affect, cash larceny and skimming schemes. In addition to learning the characteristics and types of SME and NFP organizations, students are exposed to how internal controls and the Board of Directors play an integral role in the prevention of NFP and SME frauds.
