Overview

This course contains a blend of text-based and video-based learning. To begin, learners will define fraud and examine the kinds of fraud people commit, and why. In the second unit, we explore techniques to detect and prevent fraud, and identify why these efforts are so important. The final unit of the course focuses on the consequences of fraud by detailing how to report fraud and what happens during an investigation

Through a dramatised video narrative woven throughout the course, you will learn to recognise the red flags exhibited when fraud may be taking place within your organisation. You will follow the short films to their investigative conclusion in order to recognise the impact and consequences of internal fraud. Finally, the course assessment will appraise your learning and ensure you can implement your awareness of fraud in real-world scenarios.
