    Course: Fraud and Ethics in Everyday Organizations

    Gaining hands-on investigative experience can be difficult and improving your professional skepticism abilities can be close to impossible. We read about these concepts and know they are important, but how can we best gain these skills?

    Utilizing Red Flag Mania™, an online, immersive, investigative experience, you will dive deep into the ethical and moral reasons a crime was committed. DePaul’s Fraud and Ethics in Everyday Organizations workshop will help you determine the level of guilt or innocence for suspects in this true-crime case designed to help you navigate ethical problem solving.

    This four-hour workshop will challenge you to look past the obvious and delve into evidence schemes that relate to insider fraud. You will learn to connect fraud schemes to fraud risk and their interrelationship to organizational theft. Emphasis will be on examination and review of the emotional impact of fraudulent transactions, identification of red flags in investigations, and ethical decision making in enterprise settings.
