Frequently Asked Questions
The course explains how intentional deception drives business fraud, framing deception as the common thread running through the different fraud types it covers, from schemes against an employer to fraud aimed at customers or suppliers.

Yes, general business fraud involving customers, suppliers, and outside parties is covered, broadening the scope beyond fraud committed by employees to the deceptive practices a business might face from the people it works with externally.
The course provides detailed elements for identifying and responding to fraud, going beyond a surface-level overview toward a fuller grounding in prevention that covers both internal, occupational fraud and fraud coming from outside the organisation.
This course is suited to employees and managers who want a fuller grounding in fraud prevention than a basic introduction would provide, covering both occupational fraud and broader deceptive business practices in a single expanded course.
Fraud is a widespread yet often misunderstood topic that ensnares many businesses and business people, partly due to ignorance about it. Fraud involves intentional deception to deprive others of something valuable or personally enrich another. Employees need an understanding of how to recognize and prevent fraud, whether it occurs within or by their organization or against it. This course covers two types of business fraud: a) occupational fraud, or fraud against one’s employer, and b) general business fraud, or fraud conducted by or against a business in relation to a customer, supplier or another outside party. This course provides an overview of key elements for identifying and responding to potential business fraud.
