The CPA profession has celebrated more than a century of service to the business and investing community. The accounting profession, for the most part, has been allowed to operate in a self-regulated environment. A significant part of that self-regulation is that the accounting profession is responsible for establishing the accounting standards by which financial statements are to be prepared, and the auditing and other attest standards that CPAs follow in providing assurance on those financial statements. This program will focus on fraudulent financial reporting. This basic level course is most beneficial to professionals new to this topic who may be at the staff or entry level in an organization but also for a seasoned professional with limited exposure to this topic.
