I actually got more learning and reflection from attending this course online than I would have had by participating in a course over 3 days. I will definitely encourage my colleagues to take this course as well.

The workshop was able to give me a precise definition and examples of fraud and circumstances that may not qualify to be fraud. Through the training I was able to develop my knowledge about fraud detection, prevention, respond and anti-fraud culture management within the organization.
