Graduate Certificate in

Business Fraud Examination
Walter E. Heller College of Business Administration

A new frontier in accounting and business information systems is fraud examination. The number of information security incidents is on the rise, as is the need for professionals who can deal with these incidents.

Admission Requirements

Students must hold a graduate business degree (MBA, MSIS, MSA, MSIB, MSRE, etc.). There are no additional admission requirements.

Program Requirements

This five-five course (15 semester hours) certificate is designed to provide students with in-depth coverage of fraud examination and the skill set necessary to prevent and detect fraud. Because almost every crime can potentially leave digital evidence, knowledge of information systems is required for the certificate along with knowledge of accounting and law enforcement. Students will learn how to conduct investigations, present their findings, and identify the "red flags" that may be present if a fraud is occurring.
