Course Description

Theories about how and why theft, fraud, and losses occur are an important part of building a systematic structure to prevent such damage to an organization. Theories can be a roadmap towards having a robust security apparatus and guide us to actionable solutions – solutions that work. In this course we discuss several important fraud and criminological theories and look at their application to devise ways that organizations can deter, detect, and defeat fraud.

In this course the student will learn about several fraud and criminological theories. Additionally, the student will learn about some possible solutions derived from the theories that are actionable in an effort to deter, detect and defeat fraud in organizations.
