Highlights

Fraud risk is evolving, and this path gives CPAs a balanced toolkit across prevention, detection, and response-without making it purely theoretical. You'll explore control-based prevention ("Fraud Busters"), external fraud countermeasures, and higher-risk topics like money laundering, plus practical considerations tied to modern work patterns (like the gig economy). CPAs should take this path to better protect clients and organizations, improve skepticism, and recognize red flags early-before losses compound.
