Internal Controls to Prevent and Detect Corporate Fraud
Fraud doesn’t start with a “bad actor.” It starts with weak controls, poor oversight, and management blind spots. This in-person course shows you how to design, test, and monitor anti-fraud internal controls that actually work—without turning the business into molasses.
