Great exposure to Fraud Risk Management Strategy. Fraud Risk Monitoring is crucial in today's business environment. Professionals from business and accounting background could make use of the information for professional certification studies and on-job applications. I would definitely keep the notes for future reference.

This course was a great overview of fraud risks and risk assessment. I enjoyed learning about the different companies and the consequences they faced when there is a lack of assessment, however I would have preferred the instructor provided specific examples of how to identify control gaps to better mitigate fraud.

From the title I was hoping that the course would drill down further into internal controls themselves and how to identify control gaps in order to better mitigate fraud risk. However, it was a good overview of fraud risks and risk assessments. It was well organized and presented.

The instructor provides a great foundation for how to mitigate the risks of fraud at the Company. Additionally, I enjoy hearing about the consequences Companies have faced when they do not have effective fraud mitigation controls as a reminder of the importance of this assessment.

This course was a good refresher of fraud risk mitigation, fraud risk assessments, and fraud monitoring. However, the instructor read verbatim from the slides so it was a little drawn out.

Material was laid out pretty well, but the slides seemed a little too packed. The text on the slides could be slimmed down or spread out (i.e. more slides with less text).
