CFE becomes more than a guest speaker

Bringing the real world into the classroom is challenging, but Tana Kristjanson and John Rankin, in this column, show how it can be done. Tana is the creator and instructor of the third-year “Fraud Awareness” course (students must be at least in their third year of college) in the Bachelor of Business Administration – Accounting program at Camosun College in Victoria, B.C. in Canada. John is an anti-fraud practitioner who has been collaborating with Tana on the “Fraud Awareness” course since 2010. His work since 2006 has focused on investigative and forensic accounting and internal control risk assessments.
