ACFE Ethics CPE

Description

Almost daily we learn about another company whose employees have decided to take matters into their own hands and increase their take-home pay or the company's profits through creative accounting and other means not sanctioned by the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) or the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). What has caused this phenomenon to occur, and what should companies be doing to change the tide? What can we do to help identify weaknesses in the system and improve our corporate culture?

In this course, you will learn about organizations such as Enron and how the system allowed executives and employees to turn to the ethical dark side. Also, explore how the use of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) internal control framework can help identify issues with corporate governance and ethics within organizations today.
