What FIN/470 is really about

Occupational fraud includes asset misappropriation, corruption and financial statement fraud. FIN/470 introduces the fraud triangle of pressure, opportunity and rationalization, data techniques such as Benford's law and outlier analysis, investigative interviewing and the legal and regulatory framework, including the Securities and Exchange Commission's role.

Students commonly analyze a fraud case, identify red flags in data or statements, design detection tests, plan an investigation, recommend internal controls to prevent recurrence and discuss the ethical and legal duties of examiners.

What FIN/470’s assessments ask for

Faculty look for fraud schemes classified correctly, red flags linked to evidence, detection tests that fit the scheme, controls aimed at opportunity and conclusions stated carefully without accusing individuals prematurely.

Where students lose points in FIN/470

Work loses credit when red flags are treated as proof, when controls are generic or when legal and ethical limits on investigations are ignored. Case summaries without analysis of how the fraud went undetected also score lower.
