Wonderful course, great examples. Was confused by some seemingly conflicting information in the reports but very helpful in understanding the topic. This instructor has a lot of valuable experience that he uses to give a practical understanding of the subject. Looking forward to more courses from him!

Content of the course was very good and the instructor provide many examples to bring it to life. I appreciated the case study/problems at the end of the course.
My only criticism is that that some of the exam question were poorly written and had more than one correct answer.

Really enjoyed the specific examples of fraud and the case analysis. Would have liked the answers provided (especially the amount of fraud committed on the 1st case) to compare to mine. Two of the review questions were wrong or stated badly and should be corrected.

Good course. We recently uncovered a skimming scheme by a 10+ year employee. We have some controls in place, but he was still able to circumvent them. That sparked my interest in this topic again. Picked up a few ideas that we may be able to implement.

This program was awesome and I really enjoyed Garlands style and charisma. Even though I am taking constantly courses related to fraud prevention and detection this one has a lot of interesting new information or perspectives to look at stuff.

This provided a lot of information for finance leaders to consider in order to strengthen internal controls to mitigate fraud. The case studies were very helpful to analyze financial data that may give indications of potential fraud.

I needed more than 8 hours for completing this course. But I very much liked the examples, where the instructor led us through investigation of tutorial fraud cases. I never saw such technique in other courses. Great work!
