taught me things I had not thought of.
Super! Every chapter has an eye opener. Great for business owners and senior management…not just accounting staff.
Some of the fraud prevention questions are not in line with the job of a bookkeeper. There should be questions on how to detect fraud or possibilities of fraud when the transactions have been recorded or will be recorded to cover up.
Solid common sense practice reminders
Simple and Great
Really great course. I thought it was challenging, current and understandable. I enjoyed the process and had a quick turnaround with my exam results. I am disappointed, however, that any certification I receive through this process is not recognized or allowed in the State of Idaho. I would like to see a states level certification similar to the federal level certification for tax preparers. Other than that, great program
Provide knowledge and insight
Principlal well presented
Pretty good been a few years still have book for reference.
Practical information
More practical case will make the learning of this section much easier
MORE IN DEPTH LEARNING AND THAT IS WHAT I NEEDED
love the course. It has been helpful in this one client I have in finding where his money was going.
it was truly informative. I was not aware of some of the different fraud prevention.
It was packed with information. I did like that course. p.s. I love the other courses better, I just have not taken the exam yet.
It was great.
It was good course.
Interesting, but could have been included as a couple chapters in another course.
I was impressed with how many different types of fraud and theft were covered in the book. When I casually mentioned to my manager that I was taking the course and went over some of the employee theft schemes described in the book, she looked shocked. She had a former employee that she knew had stolen company funds, but could never prove it or determine how. When I told her some of the examples of employee theft from this book, she was certain that one of the schemes was how her bookkeeper had stolen the money.
I use it for reference
I thought the course was very thorough. The chapters/sections are laid out logically and each builds on the ones before it. The exam reflected what was reviewed in the course but the questions designed to to make one think, not just recite memorized items.
I really like this book.alot of practical examples
I really enjoyed the detail it gave on identifying counterfit money and credit cards.
I mainly work with companies to assist with internal controls and the information supplied in the course was very helpful
I just did this test so fare, and it was very good. I learned many things, which I did not know before. I will recomend this test in the future.
I have been in the bookkeeping business for several years and this is one of the most important aspects for a company. Very informative.
I felt that the course was very informative and gave some very good indications to watch for concerning fraud. The internal controls were a very good refresher from my education.
I amvery much satisfy with the way of preparation. It is easy to understand.

Helped me to better understand how to follow up.
