Course fully met objectives. Showed importance of testing and validating the effectiveness of internal controls to prevent fraud.
Interesting case studies. The discussion on internal control weaknesses that led to the fraud was very beneficial.

Great course of Koss corporation - a Case Study in Fraud which added value to me
The instructor didn't present the materials effectively as I would have hoped.
A little slow, but still exemplified the need for proper internal controls.
While material covered was engaging, flow of presentation felt stagnant.
Very good course had not heard of this before. Thank you.
