Fraud Awareness and Prevention Training Reviews

The Course is fairly lengthy hence 20 multiple choice questions. The questions are not as difficult as one may have expected given the length of the Course.

The section paid no attention to the fundamental cause of fraud: unfair and impersonal treatment of staff by organisations. In these situations, staff justifiedly feel no loyalty to the organisation, so why would they not defraud it, and why would they not cover for each other? I think the fraud prevention section ought to have pointed this out — that organisations that treat their staff fairly, have solid grievance procedures, are flexible about accommodating their particular needs, and make an effort to ensure that they are good places to work are much less likely to get defrauded. I also had some issues with the quiz. Question 4 ("if a manager gives you permission to forge his signature on a document, is this fraud?"). The "correct" answer was that it is fraud. In fact it is not. As Q9 correctly states it, fraud is about personal or financial gain. There is no personal or financial gain involved in this example. Moreover, the legal definition of a signature amounts pretty much to "anything the signing parties agree is a signature." So if the "forged" signature was challenged and the manager asserted that it is his signature, it wouldn't even be invalid. Overall the information was solid as usual, it just made me bring out the hammer and sickle big time. I really would not want to work somewhere that urged its employees to spy on each other like this course does.
