Every fraud specialist knows that at any point, an ethical challenge can present itself. Suspects facing jail time, large amounts of money and innocent-seeming requests can all add up to one’s honor being compromised. Ethics is a cornerstone in every profession, especially for fraud specialists. The public and employers place a significant trust in fraud specialists and there is, inherent in that trust, the expectation that a fraud specialist will know and understand the legal and ethical standards that apply. However, those standards are increasingly complex, and a lack of understanding of the ethical and legal standards can expose a fraud specialist to the risk of a breach in compliance or even malpractice. This course will examine ethical issues and provide guidance on how to handle them.
